We agree that there is an inconsistency, but disagree with the proposed solution. The value of 100 ms was chosen in order to quickly detect changes in topology that could not be detected through other means (e.g., optical bypass that does not create a link failure). We propose to change the MIB variable description to match the standard. Of question is why the MIB variable is in units of 50 ms instead of 100 ms, and whether we can correct this without deprecating the variable and creating a new variable. If we keep the units of 50 ms, what do we do if someone configures an odd number of units?
