[rtg] Traffic is wrapping

[Shaun]

What are you using now?  I'm a little disappointed that rtg is no longer
being actively maintained.  Even when I tried to get the ball back rolling
with a few guys on the lists that have done devel work on the project nobody
wants to take over.  One guy here had done work to 0.8 and said to have it
working.  If I was good enough at C I would do it but I'm more of a perl/php
guy.

If it helps, I can confirm your wrapping is caused by the 32bit counters as
on a
5 minute poll anything over about ~115mbps (iirc) will cause the counter to
loop
twice or more (which rtg can't detect) resulting in you only seeing the
'remainder' of dividing your traffic by ~115.

Unfortunately I can't help you with your mib issue; we never used 64bit
counters
with RTG and we don't actually use RTG anymore (I really must unsubscribe).
