You're on the right track with ptime. The theory idea is that: (A) Most packet loss is due to congestion (B) When congestion occurs the router selects a packet to drop (C) The routers pick a packet to discard more-or-less at random (D) Therefore, A 180 byte packet is just as likely to be dropped as a 1500 byte packet. (E) A ptime=20 generates twice the packets as ptime=40, and therefore ptime=20 has twice the exposure to the discards (F) You can reduce your exposure to discards by reducing the number of packets you have in the queue. (G) Reduced discards mean better audio quality.
