Actually it can be.  RRDtool does not suffer from counter wraps (as opposed
to MRTG) provided the counter only wraps once.  This means that in your
case the maximum increase can be 2^32-1 octets per minute and therefore
the maximum rate can be 572,662,306 bps ( (2^32-1)*8/60 )

If you write your own front end, it may be wise to use 64-bit counters
whenever possible.
