Interesting. Just to clarify, the computer I'm pinging from is on the
same switch as the phone so I don't see how there could be so much
variance since the remote Asterisk server is on a very fast pipe. I've
seen several people post that they have well under 100ms response.

Is the time that the Asterisk displays just a ping to the device or
are there more calculations? Any ideas besides TOS since that will not
help much as you mentioned?

Thanks
