asterisk users - Aug 2011 - How is a ping test delay "ms" different from status in Asterisk "sip show peers"?

Hi everyone,

Pinging a phone set I get 0.529 ms round trip delay. Running "sip show
peers" in Asterisk CLI I see anywhere from 5 milli seconds to 280 ms. How
are both of these different and why are they so different? Is the latter
based on SIP packets return?

I have a paging device that shows close to 280 ms which is not right but at
ping it's 0.5 ms.

Regards,

Some routers consider responding to pings to be a 'low priority'
request.
