   It sounds like there may have been a temporary period of high 
utilisation that created this distortion.  However, in general, the
Asterisk 'qualify' mechanism (which consists of a SIP OPTIONS ping,
nothing more) is not a terribly reliable metric of network throughput
or performance, especially when constrained to extremely low latency.
Nor does Asterisk always accurately determine that a peer is "UNREACHABLE" 
only when it is, in fact, UNREACHABLE.  I encourage you to set the 
qualify= value for each peer in sip.conf very high, or otherwise omit
the setting entirely.
