Router latency

Asked by didier_09 in Network Routers, Frame Relay, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: Cisco 1721

I have been noticing a difference in latency for a point-to-point connection.  The point-to-point is a full T1 with Cisco 1721 routers on both ends.  The line is used for both voice and data, with voice having priority.  

In the past, when I would ping from point A to point B or from point B to point A, the round trip time would be a solid 4ms.  Recently, when I ping from point A to point B it shows a 1ms round trip time, but pinging from point B to point A remains 4ms.  These are the latency times when I ping from workstations behind each router (I have tried several different workstations and they are all the same round trip times), however, when I ping Router B from Router A and vice versa, the round trip time remains 4ms.

Below are the "show version" and "show interfaces" outputs for each router:
