[mrtg] Different values on graph from MRTG & Cricket

[Tobias Oetiker]

Hi Mir,

the 'problem' may be that you are not polling at exactly the same
time, so the peak traffic is not in exactly the same interval ...

example: cricket measures from 9:08am - 9:13am and
         mrtg measures from    9:06am - 9:11am

cheers
