Apan, Bps bps.

[Fredrik Wänglund]

This issue has been discussed before. You can always change the plugin 
to multiply the value with 8. But will this give you the bandwith 
utlization on the link?

Usually you read the OID's IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.<if> and 
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.<if>. These counters counts all all valid bytes that 
passes the interface (includning the data and all packet-headers down to 
the ethernet-header).
The counters does not count possible start- stop- or parity-bits (I dont 
know how these are treated in ethernet) and they may not count badly 
damaged data.
Maybe someone with more ethernet knowledge have some clues?
