<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=160300219-19101999>A few weeks ago I
had a problem when the values to be graphed by MRTG seemed to be lower than
should be expected. The interfaces being graphed having this problem all
regularly see in the order of at least 100Mb going through them. When the
traffic over the interface gets up to around 100Mb MRTG starts to graph it as
being much lower, as if suddenly there were a lot of dropped packets. I checked
the interface and the number of packets through it did not compare to that shown
by MRTG. When I change the frequency of the crontab for running MRTG from every
5 minutes to every minute the graphing becomes normal. I don't much like the
idea of having to send snmp gets to the interfaces that frequently if I can
otherwise help it. Is this due to a limitation of SNMP, of MRTG or something
that I have overlooked?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
