Speed for 10G Link look like 4.29Gbps and rate is wrong

Many in this forum have asked this question before, so this i most certanly a repost.

But i have searched, and failed to find an answer.

My 10G links (on Cisco ASR9K) show up as 4.29Gbps.

The links also report much lower rates than the actual rate.

If i understand this correctly it has something to do with 64bit counters in SNMP.

The changelog for:
What’s new in 6.34 (2016-Jan-29 10:25):
*) net - improve 64bit interface stats support;

But im not able to get it to work.

Can some please explain how i can get this to work, if possible.

The counters for the dude are 32bit, 4.29billion is the largest unsigned number 32 bits can hold. I doubt they are able to prefer 64 bit counters yet. They should have a checkbox to prefer 64 bit counters so that when you monitor any link the underlying function checks to see if the equivalent 64 bit counter is being populated that way 10Gb link or higher it will show up correctly and will graph correctly. 10Gb can easily roll over a 32bit number every few minutes.
