[cricket-users] Smoothing "reboot" spikes?

Hi all. Been using RRD/Cricket for about a month now to get stats from
typical (Cisco) stuff as well as doing a bit of hacking to get RRD to
eat bulk statistics from my Redback DSL access concentrators.

All is working well except that when the counters reset to 0, we get
huge spikes for DSL customers (since they are usually really light
users, a reset to 0 can look like a 90 Mbps spike). I was wondering
(and this may be an RRD issue, not a cricket issue) if there was a way
to drop or ignore samples like that. I'd rather risk missing a 5 minute
spike than have to deal with customers asking why their 384 DSL peaked
at 90Mbps in the middle of the night.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
