[smokeping-users] Get packet loss data in last ten days graph

I still got a doubt about the calculataion of packet loss.
For example I've got 2 losses in the last 3 hours in two consecutives
polling cycles (1/20 and 1/20).
The data in the graphs shows pl= 0.14% avg and 4.68% max
In the rrd data I've got:

rrdtool fetch myrrdfile.rrd AVERAGE -s -3h -e now  | cut -f 1-3 -d' '


1366717200: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366717500: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366717800: -nan 0,0000000000e+00

1366718700: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366719000: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366719300: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366719600: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366719900: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366720200: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366720500: -nan 9,3666666667e-01
1366720800: -nan 6,3333333333e-02

1366722000: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366722300: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366722600: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366722900: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366723200: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366723500: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366723800: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366724100: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366724400: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366724700: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366725000: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366725300: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366725600: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366725900: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366726200: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366726500: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366726800: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366727100: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366727400: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366727700: -nan 0,0000000000e+00
1366728000: -nan -nan

And I can't understand how to obtain the value of pl=0.14% avg. I thought
that the data stored in the rrd was the number of packet loss in a round or
the average each 5 minutes.
In the first case I get a value of pl=(number of packet losses in last
3hours/total packets sends)2/720=0.0028, then pl=0.28%.
Surely I'm wrong in something.

Thanks
