Dear Javier, Thanks a lot for your reply!
I'me trying to read the source code to understand how the AVERAGE value is calculated (shown in the bottom of the interface traffic performance graph). Could you plase tell us how or where can we find the definition of the "inputbits" or "input" in traffic.inc.php. How the "inputbits" and "outputbits" average is calculated/defined, what is its infomation source: "AREA:inputbits#00CC00:'Inbound '", "GPRINT:inputbits:MAX:'Max\:%8.2lf %sbps'", "GPRINT:inputbits:AVERAGE:'Average\:%8.2lf %sbps'", "GPRINT:inputbits:LAST:'Last\:%8.2lf %sbps\\n'", $opts_DEF[]="CDEF:inputbits=input,UN,input,input,IF,8,*"; $opts_DEF[]="CDEF:outputbits=output,UN,output,output,IF,8,*"; What is the value of "input" and "output"? And where can I find the definition of rrdtool_get_def? $opts_DEF = rrdtool_get_def($data,array("input","output")); To may knowledge, jffnms store every collected value in the RRD file as shown in the following command output capture. What function jffnms has used to consolidate/calculate a single AVERAGE value (over a arbitary period, e.g. a week, a month or an year)? If you're too busy to give detail info, could you please tell us where can we find the answer?

But if your graph have some down time (it will count as 0 for the average).
