That is the problem. I need to get the averages of total used and customer used, then do the math. If I do it with a CDEF, the night-time traffic weighs in way to much. I don't want to charge a customer for 100% of 14 mb/s if they use 1k/s, I just want to charge for 1k/s. If you're saying I can get the averages over the span of the graph and do tne math with a CDEF, please tell me how. Or in the alternative, can math be done in a GPRINT, or a simple perl script?
