[asterisk-users] How is a ping test delay "ms" different from status in Asterisk "sip show peers"?

[Bruce B]

What's the point of having the metrics then? They are inaccurate and
deceiving. If there is no benefit to showing the real metrics then why not
change it to Status = Reachable than showing a number?

Thanks,
