I've tried pulling this value using cacti as well as net-snmp to make sure that it reports correctly. This oid and oid's for other interfaces on this and other routers report similarly astronomical numbers. So basically values that i get reported for this oid is in the trillions. Is is that I'm not reading data correctly?

If the value you get is greater, there is something wrong ;-)

Errors in Cisco counters are not that uncommon. If you take software through a test before commiting it to customers you should also check counters. /hjj
