Just a further tip from my side: the RemoteRig RRC allows ToS tagging. It is entered in the advanced settings under "IP Type-of-Service (dec)". The manual refers to RFC791 that use this in QoS networks and support this function. Entries must be made in decimal.

Unfortunately, I have found no "home" routers so far (at least here in DL) that support QoS tags. However, this will for sure help those that do have routers supporting QoS.

It is standard to use UDP (RTP) over VoIP for the reasons given by Iain. Over a corporate network, VoIP traffic should have a QoS tagging on the IP packets which causes routers to prioritise it. VoIP over the internet has always been done for cost, not quality reasons, as the whole concept behind IP networks is at conflict with constant rate traffic; the telephone industry devised ATM as a packet network for that application (although they are now moving to IP, because voice is no longer the dominant bandwidth user - but I am sure they will prioritise their voice traffic).

RTP has a marker bit which indicates a safe place to dump a latency buffer's contents. Conceivably setting this during tuning would be a good idea. If the remote operation protocol doesn't user RTP, someone has been re-inventing the wheel.

As someone mentioned WiFi. It is generally accepted, in the VoIP world, that WiFi and VoIP don't mix because WiFi introduces additional latency. I believe it also does link level retransmission which, means latency can be particularly bad if you don't have ideal conditions.
