Hello there,
we appreciate your contact.

Please note that PRTG 6 is very old and was replaced by "PRTG Network Monitor" many years ago, which is being developed until today:

However, the reported issue is not PRTG's fault. The problem is very likely that you're using 32-bit counters for SNMP Traffic. That will happen when using SNMP V1 (instead of V2c or V3) or when the device doesn't support 64-bit counters.

Please refer to this KB-Post which concerns exactly the same behavior:

Hello danunjayab,
thank you for your reply.

I'm not sure I understand your reply. What exactly do you mean by "In new version its trail"?
Where you able to resolve the issue by switching to SNMP v2c or V3 and re-deploying the traffic sensors?

With Kind Regards,

Thank you for your reply.

Switching to SNMP V2c alone isn't enough, the sensors need to be re-created. If you still end up with issues after that, this most likely indicates that your device does not support 64-bit counters. Windows for instance only supports 32-bit counters.
