Yes. Ping-latencies with 512 VQ size show below.

Packet-Weight      Ping-Latencies(millisecond)
                    min      avg       max
Origin           6.357   29.177    66.245
64               2.798    3.614     4.403
128              2.861    3.820     4.775
256              3.008    4.018     4.807
512              3.254    4.523     5.824
1024             3.079    5.335     7.747
2048             3.944    8.201     12.762
4096             4.158   11.057    19.985

We will submit again. Is there anything else?
