Calculate separate in and out 95th values for the average data sampled:

#!/bin/bash

datestart=`date -d "-1 month -$(($(date +%d)-1)) days 00:00" "+%s"`
dateend=`date -d "-$(date +%d) days 23:59:59" "+%s"`

rrdtool graph -f '' -s $datestart -e $dateend /dev/null \
DEF:in="$1":traffic_in:AVERAGE \
DEF:out="$1":traffic_out:AVERAGE \
CDEF:inbits=in,8,* \
CDEF:outbits=out,8,* \
VDEF:95pct_in=inbits,95,PERCENT \
VDEF:95pct_out=outbits,95,PERCENT \
PRINT:95pct_in:"IN='%.2lf %Sb'" \
PRINT:95pct_out:"OUT='%.2lf %Sb'"

Calculate separate in and out 95th values using the maximum data value sampled:

#!/bin/bash

datestart=`date -d "-1 month -$(($(date +%d)-1)) days 00:00" "+%s"`
dateend=`date -d "-$(date +%d) days 23:59:59" "+%s"`

VDEF:95pct_in=inbits,95,PERCENT \
VDEF:95pct_out=outbits,95,PERCENT \
PRINT:95pct_in:"IN='%.2lf %Sb'" \
PRINT:95pct_out:"OUT='%.2lf %Sb'"
