Perhaps you've asked the wrong questions ? You've received plenty of
answers (at least satcom did)

You have a line in bits per second. There are 1000 bits in a kilobit
(this is NOT a mistake it is NOT 1024) and 1000 kilobits in a megabit.

MRTG needs numbers in bytes so you get:

320 kilobits/second -->  40 kilobytes/second --> 40*1000 bytes/second
8 megabits/second --> 1 megabyte/second -->1*1000*1000 bytes/second

If 320kbps should be 100% then:
- MaxBytes[target]: 40000
- AbsMax[target]: 1000000
else, skip AbsMax and do:
- MaxBytes[target]: 1000000

In both cases:
- Options[target]: bits,growright
