Berlin, Germany to São Paulo, Brazil ICMP RTT: average, min and max latency, jitter, and packet loss for the 2026-08-15 measurement round.

🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany (BER) → 🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil (GRU)

Measurement round: 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z.

In the 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z round, ICMP echo RTT from Berlin, Germany to São Paulo, Brazil averaged 188 ms across 50 samples taken at 100-ms intervals, with a minimum of 177.96 ms and a maximum of 212.46 ms. No packets were lost, but the 6.16 ms jitter and 8.06 ms standard deviation show noticeable sample-to-sample movement; the route sits in the Fair latency tier.

The 10,232.3 km great-circle distance gives a vacuum round-trip floor of 68.26 ms and an all-fiber round-trip floor of 100.2 ms. At 188 ms, the measured average is 1.88 times that fiber floor, and the fiber floor is 53.3 percent of the observed RTT, meaning the long intercontinental path accounts for most of the latency rather than packet loss.

Within the 19-route outbound set, this route ranked 17th by average RTT, placing it near the slower end despite zero loss. Its standard deviation is about 4.3 percent of the average, above the 3.08 percent median for the set, so the route offers clean but relatively high and slightly more variable round-trip times.

Ping Measurement Series

The chart below renders the 50-sample ICMP echo measurement round for this route; an accessible table of every sample is included with the chart.

Ping series: BER → GRU

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 188.0 ± 1.14 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (181.7–191.5 ms), median 185.1 ms · whiskers = min–max · diamond = round average · each dot is one measured sample.

How to read this chart

The shaded band spans the measured minimum to maximum RTT of all samples collected up to that point, and the thin line traces the running average. The final position therefore matches the round statistics exactly — the band only widens when a new extreme sample arrives.

The dashed line is the round average, and the shaded band at the bottom is the theoretical fiber-optic floor (100.2 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Berlin (52.52437, 13.41053) and São Paulo (-23.54750, -46.63611). It does not disclose either facility address.

WGS-84 geodesic distance	10,232.3 km
Vacuum RTT floor	68.26 ms
Standard fiber RTT floor ( $n_g=1.4679$ )	100.2 ms
Low-latency fiber material floor	99.8 ms
Engineering floor (5% path allowance)	105.23 ms
Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference	133.27 ms
Estimated unamplified path loss	2148.8 dB
Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers	135 / 134
Published RTT inflation over fiber floor	1.88×

Attenuation is used to estimate the number of 80 km optical spans; it does not directly slow light. See the full theoretical fiber latency, GeoNames, attenuation, and amplifier methodology.

About This Measurement

Published RTT reflects best-case backbone path behavior measured with ICMP echo probes between PoPs. End-user latency also depends on local access networks, congestion, routing policy, and traffic engineering. None of these values is an SLA.

The measurement round behind this page is published as open data under CC BY 4.0 in the Hats Network latency dataset. Per-pair files are available at /opendata/latency/latest/pairs/ber-gru.pings.{csv,json,yaml}.
