I don't see a connection between your questions and the 95th 
Percentile value, but o.k...

It is if you need 64 bps counters. You will need them when for
Instance you poll every 5 minutes and your interface has a load
Of more than 114 Mbps. The device you are polling must support
64 bit counters, though.

Only on half duplex lines. Full duplex connections have different
wires for each direction. There's no logic in adding the traffic
Loads of those two.

Uhm, With my files they don't. The rates are stored, not the
Raw counters. Perhaps you are looking for the GAUGE type?
The difference is explained in the tutorial on the rrdtool
Website.
