RRDtool works with "double" type of numbers. This means that the maximum value is probably never reached. I'm not sure if this is dependent on architecture and/or OS, but here's what I found as maximum: 1.79769313486231470e+308 It probably is dependent on the architecture, however it will be a very large number in any case. My C-referency guide tells me double ranges from 1.7E-308 to 1.7E+308 (I think this is wrong, they probably should say -(1.7E+308) to 1.7E+308). More important here is the resolution. The IEEE standard dictates at least 15 significant digits. Thus, there will be no difference between 1.79769313486231470e+308 and 1.79769313486231470e+308 +1 64-bit counters reach from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807 and may therefore suffer from a loss in resolution when ***very*** high numbers are input. In practice however you will not encounter this limit.
