Not everyone likes to patch the kernel for just one tool. ;)

No. Since there are several "rounds", where update_rrd.pl checks for the
amount of connections, every connection, which is in use less than
((120/$number_of_rounds)) seconds is not counted.

Right.

Being able to match the PID would also allow to count the UDP-Traffic and
draw it in a different colour.
