could you explain what do you mean and how to check it?

On the BananaPI? Nothing other PPP, Bind, NTP, Firewall (iptables) and
Asterisk.

I don't understand what you mean...

Asterisk runs on PPP interface

Zyxel VMG1312B30A. It works correctly and using the Internet (upload and
download) is not a problem

Yes

I use SIP, not PJSIP... Do I have to do that, too? Which value?

I have a forwarding to the DNS servers of Telekom configured in my bind,
since the Gateway has to manage the internal domains, too...

Regarding the ping time: wich line do you have? I have a DSL 50Mbps.
Maybe your times are better due to a faster line?

What is your opinion about the tests I did today with the friend and his
phone as VoIP-peer?
