</div>I think this is a visualisation issue.<br>
You collect two values but when you make a graph of it you display the<br>
overall traffic (you add the two values).<br>
I do not see the need to sum the data while collecting.<br>

<br>For example, 4 quad 1 Gig Ethernet ports may be used together, with the expectation that 2 can fail but enough bandwidth would still be supplied to meet the business need. The customer may wish to set a threshold for bandwidth at 1.8 GBit. Also, the throughput of the set may be compared consistently when equipment is rebooted nightly, weekly, or monthly, on a rolling schedule. Only the aggregate may truly be important from a performance management expectation.<br>
