In your case, 200ms round trip time, assuming a symmetric distribution, of delay (but mind you that the internet isn't really symmetrical...) is 100ms one way delay so this is not excellent but not really bad either. In theory, at least, you shouldn't be able to notice this delay in conversation.
Since a VoIP conversation is two way, even if the latency is not symetrical, one side or the other will experience the higher of the two sides. So while peak latency would be better a metric, IMHO ping time is a decent average. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
