Hi Vedrin and Andreas,

I have a query about the units that you assume you are getting from RRD MA. Basically, the response from RRD MA is as below:


<nmwg:data id="localhost.7e5caec1:10cf76b6c9d:-7fdf" metadataIdRef="meta1">
<nmwg:datum timeValue="1121558400" value="189.25857952114652" />
<nmwg:datum timeValue="1121644800" value="157.6300922870065" />
<nmwg:datum timeValue="1121731200" value="341.2686134412051" />
<nmwg:datum timeValue="1121817600" value="376.50555043698813" />
<nmwg:datum timeValue="1121904000" value="320.4919869209144" />
</nmwg:data>


It doesn't say whether the value is in bits per second, Mbits per second or bytes per second. What do you assume the unit to be in? do you think it would be better if the response explicitly mentioned the units and also the timeType?

Thanks,
Loukik.
