Not sure how you do the accounting calculation part but I have a cron script 
that parses 

the shorewall accounting values, reads the old values from a file (saved on a 
previous run) 

and does (new_value-old_value)/(new_timestamp-old_timestamp).
If I detect that new_value < old_value (due to a reset or a cycling), I just 
pick the previous diff value.
Then, I graph my diffed values with rdd.
rdd is supposed to handle counters resets but I could not make it work...
