That's something that we'd like to do in Reports, in a broader sense even.  
Besides what you described, we've had several requests for 'sum' across 
devices, i.e. the total tx/rx across a set of interfaces on a switch.

The main difficulty, taking your example, is that it's not completely 
straightforward to get total bytes sent from bytes/second; at the least you 
have to multiply by the poll interval, which can change!  Then with different 
datasets having different summation rules, the next problem is coming up with a 
reliable way to determine when to apply them.  There are a few other issues as 
well.

So as you can see it's a bit more involved than it appears, but we do know that 
it's something we need to support.
