Propably both. Took me hours to do some simple tests.

My spikes are due to bad old Zyxel who could not get the firmware right on
their 645 ADSL router.
Current code:
rrdtool graph $GRAPHS/ADSL-in.$PERIOD.gif --start -$LENGTH \
-t "ADSL inkomend verkeer $TITEL" \
--vertical-label bytes/second \
DEF:value=$STATS/isildur.adsl.rrd:ifInOctets:AVERAGE \
CDEF:octets=value,$FULL,GT,nan,value,IF \
CDEF:normal=octets,$BUSY,GT,0,octets,IF \
CDEF:border=octets,$BUSY,GT,$BUSY,0,IF \
CDEF:busy=octets,$BUSY,GT,octets,$BUSY,-,0,IF \
AREA:normal#7EE600:"Normal" \
AREA:border#7EE600:"" \
STACK:busy#EA8F00:"Busy" \
GPRINT:octets:AVERAGE:"Gem. \:%5.2lf%sB/s" \
GPRINT:octets:MAX:"Max. \:%5.2lf%sB/s\n" \
COMMENT:"$DATUM\r"
Other test had:
DEF:value=$STATS/isildur.adsl.rrd:ifInOctets:AVERAGE \
CDEF:octets=value,0,$FULL,LIMIT \
CDEF:normal=octets,$BUSY,GT,0,octets,IF \
RRDtool 1.0.42
Perhaps I should try the 1.0.46 from the RPM stove.
Hugo.
