I've run into this...
Check to ensure that the Spped is set to the proper setting on the device
itself... ie.. it is possible on some devices to set the speed of an
Ethernet (within the agent) to say 56000... While the actual speed may be
10,000,000...
Also, if you are looking at utilization on full duplex interfaces, each
side must be calculated separately as it can transmit and receive
simultaneously.
