Counter wrap.

In a 5-minute polling interval of a 32-bit counter you can rate up to 
109 Mbps before the small counter wraps and MRTG will graph inaccurate data.
In a 1-minute polling interval of a 32-bit counter you can rate up to 
546 Mbps before the wrap and blown graphs.

Without 64-bit counters you will not likely be able to accurately graph 
a 1000 Mbps link unless that link never exceeds those numbers for the 
specified interval.

Search the list for "counter wrap" and you will find dozens of threads 
on this topic.
