[Question #150159]: Edge Case - Average of wrapped Counters

 

New question #150159 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/150159

i've had a look through the source for whisper.py and, from what i can see, the lower resolution archives get updated with the sum of some values from the higher precision archives. What i wanted to know, is if you get a counter that wraps (say network traffic), does that not mess up the average at that point so that it is far lower than it should be, resulting in a massive difference between it and the next point?
