Average bandwidth greater than max bandwidth

Hello,

I've setup cacti to monitor several machines. All seems to work well except that it reports higher average bandwidth than max bandwidth outbound on eth1 on 2 of the machines as illustrated in the attached graph below. Any theories as to why this is happening?

You really do have that traffic on the box...

Ok but how can rthe average be higher than the maximum?

Hi

"364.01 m" means "0.36401"

It's not... See that little "m" next to the average... That stands for milli.

1m = 0.001

So, your average is much smaller than the max.

I feel quite stupid now.
