I'll explain a bit further. I'm creating a parser for MRTG.cfg files. (The same files who are used by the routers2.cgi util)
Now I have counters (e.g. a firewall rule counter) and some traffic measurements. routers2.cgi seems to know when to multiply data by 8 for plotting traffic data. I was wondering how routers2.cgi determines this. But it seems there is not way of doing this, right? Maybe I should just look for the word 'traffic' in the description...
