[rtg] 64 bit question about GigE links

[Dierlam, Andy David]

When you say you changed to 64 bits, how did you change that ?  
There are different OIDs for 32bit & 64bits counters.  Is that what you changed in your target file ? 
Also, how often are you polling the interface ?  if every 5 minutes, you may want to change to 2, maybe the counters are wrapping b4 the next 5 min poll.
 
Thanks,
Andy

	Quick followup. I changed my Gigabit interface to 64 bit about an hour 
	a go, restarted rtgpoll, and now I see the attached graph (png image). 
	The bandwidth graph dropped down to around 24Mbps from 80Mbps or so. 
	Its been reading 24Mbps for awhile now, but that is not valid, it 
	should be in the 74Mbps area - when I do a "sh int GigabitEthernet 3/8" 
	on my 6509, its reporting 74Mbps. 

	Any ideas as to what is causing this skewed graph following the change 
	from 32 to 63 bits?
