| --perfspeed --warning=40,60  --critical=60,80 --prct

| 468.1%):(1 UP): CRITICAL

You are instructing it to report how much the speed goes over the
configured maximum. And you set the maximum to 60 Kb/s in and 80 kb/s out.

It seems you have in fact 108 kb/s in and 375 kb/s out as the actual
traffic flow. So the alert is valid.

If you add the -u parameter your would trigger warning on the percentage
~ of the interface. So you need to reach 40% of your maximum speed before
you reach the warning level.

It is also important to see what the maximum port speed is according to
your config.

But I must admit the help info on this plugin is not exactly clear. A
number of options seem to be described in rather puzzling terms which
are open to speculation of what is meant exactly. This may be due to
translation errors.
