Delta : For values that always increase
Absloute : For values that can increase or decrease

Example : ifinpackets over a period of 5 mins .. this can not go down .
                i.e X packets at start fo 5 min interval and Y at end of 5
min interval
                then X is = or less than Y
                Hence DELTA

Ablsoute : example : CPU util .. can be high or low
