So, in roughly 15 minutes, the amount of cells is received.
In other words, this is like a counter that's reset every
time it is read --> ABSOLUTE.  You don't have to reset this
counter, the device seems to do this for you.

The result is 6517020 ingress atm cells in (16:02:02 - 15:46:32),
which is 15 minutes 30 seconds --> 7007.5 cells per second. This
is the computed rate, before normalization occurs.

Once you have the proper rate of cells per second, it is easy,
using CDEF, to multiply by <bytes per cell> and by <bits per byte>.

Can you manage from here?
