Ah, _during the time period_ was the key. In that case, I don't think
there is a predefined RRD datasource type to do what you want. The ones
that calculate differences (COUNTER, DERIVE) also convert them to a rate
with respect to time.
A quick and dirty hack would be to go ahead and use COUNTER, but scale the
resulting graph by the collection interval (in seconds).
