So was the "Ahh shit.." comment a revelation indicating you can see an issue? 

I've seen a couple other entries where there is a burst that doesn't fit with the interface counters, however none as consistent as the one I originally emailed on.

The below bill/interface just had a burst small burst inbound that doesn't show up in the counters, but does in the billing graph (bill1-accurate.png).

bill_data:

20, 2011-11-15 08:15:08, 299, 749963913, 2972, 749960941
20, 2011-11-15 08:20:07, 300, 1020775706, 1885, 1020773821
20, 2011-11-15 08:25:09, 302, 813072182, 1806, 813070376
20, 2011-11-15 08:30:08, 299, 803081017, 4671, 803076346
20, 2011-11-15 08:35:07, 299, 1182257940, 2472, 1182255468
20, 2011-11-15 08:40:08, 301, 65126192730628, 65124905329746, 1287400882
20, 2011-11-15 08:45:07, 300, 65126107460041, 65124905329746, 1202130295
20, 2011-11-15 08:50:08, 301, 1268579798, 3388, 1268576410
20, 2011-11-15 08:55:08, 300, 1223124545, 3515, 1223121030
20, 2011-11-15 09:00:07, 299, 1459063239, 2204, 1459061035

Which stands out not only because of the massive increase, but also being exactly the same.
bill_history:

20, XXXXX, cdr, 10000, 1, 0, 0, 62454, 62454, out, 134360224, 130251020, 4109204, 0, 0, 1032722, 2011-11-22 12:23:34, , , , 0

The original interface (index 1908) has been showing a continual 8Gb/s of inbound delta (bill2-accurate.png), even though if you look at the ifHCInOctets there is actually zero change. And it doesn't show up in the interface graphs (bill2-interface.png)

All of the bills I've seen this issue on have extremely minimal or in the above case zero traffic in one direction or another.

Anything else I can provide?

Thanks,
Berant

Ahh shit, that table doesn't store counters, only deltas.

What is the current SNMP counter for that port?
