Average RTT from Los Angeles to every other PoP
Round average of 19 measured routes, sorted slowest first · whiskers mark ±1 standard deviation within each round
How to read this chart
Each bar is the average round-trip time of one 50-probe ICMP echo round from Los Angeles (LAX) to the destination PoP. The whisker at the end of each bar spans the average ± one standard deviation of that round — long whiskers mark jittery routes, short whiskers mark stable ones.

RTT vs. distance from Los Angeles
Average RTT against great-circle distance for the same 19 routes · shaded bands mark latency tiers · points are colored by continent
How to read this chart
Each point is one destination PoP: the horizontal axis is the measured average RTT, the vertical axis is the WGS-84 great-circle distance from Los Angeles. Points close to the bottom-left are routes that run near the physical fiber limit; points drifting upward-right follow longer paths. The shaded vertical bands mark the latency tiers (Ultra-Low <30 ms, Low 30–80 ms, Mid 80–150 ms, High >150 ms).

Fastest routes into Los Angeles
Measured RTT from 19 other PoPs into Los Angeles (LAX), sorted fastest first · each row spans min–max with a dot at the average
How to read this chart
Each row is one 50-probe ICMP echo round from another PoP into Los Angeles (LAX): the line spans the minimum to maximum round-trip time observed, and the dot marks the average. Short rows are stable routes; rows sitting far right are slow ones. RTT is not symmetric — the path back into Los Angeles can differ from the outbound path shown in the charts above.
