Anil,
	while I agree with you that 1usec units will be more readable 
I'm afraid that such change will cause missunderstanding, you'll see
a different value from SMT than from SNMP, and different from the
value you'll see when you capture a frame on the FDDI Analyzer.

I think that the best way to deal with that is to use a single 
format and let the Network Management Station show it in a readable
format (for example giving both 80 nsec units and 1 usec units).
