Great! We love to see IXP Manager being used around the world :-)

Okay - is there any error? What make and model of switches are you using?

Okay, so the MaxByres for the overall switch and IXP aggregates are 
calculated based on the ifHighSpeed of the switch port which requires 
SNMP to work.

If we can solve the SNMP issue above and get SNMP switch polling [1] 
working, this will all solve itself.
