It should generally be pretty accurate.  You might try running 3 calls
just to confirm.

Remember ILBC uses a different frame length (thus the lower pps count) and
because it's not going to line up exactly with the G.729 or ulaw frames,
there will be even fewer.  However, I still don't see only 6.7kbps.  That
seems just a bit too low.

IP overhead is purely a factor of the number of packets (PPS).  GSM, ulaw,
Speex, and G.729 should all have identical overheads, in principle.

I would predict LPC10 to be around 4.8, not 6.1....  I wonder why the
discrepency.  Perhaps the IAX overhead is coming into play more here...

Changing Asterisk's selection of options on Speex could improve this.

Your work speaks for itself, but for what it's worth, I also give you my
own thumbs up for your dedicated understanding of the mechanics,
debugging, and testing of Asterisk.
