Berlin, Germany to Miami, USA ICMP round-trip time (RTT) measurements: average latency, jitter, packet loss, and route efficiency for network diagnostics.

🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany (BER) → 🇺🇸 Miami, USA (MIA)

Measurement round: 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z.

In the measurement round 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z, 50 ICMP echo probes from Berlin to Miami averaged 118.3 ms, with a minimum of 115.44 ms, a maximum of 127.36 ms, and zero packet loss. The route's jitter of 2.21 ms and standard deviation of 2.6 ms kept the round-trip times tightly grouped around the average.

The observed 118.3 ms average is 1.51 times the 78.44 ms fiber-floor reference for the 8,009.8 km geodesic separation, giving a fiber efficiency of 66.3 percent. This places the pair in the good latency tier while leaving room above the speed-of-light-in-fiber minimum.

Within the set of 19 outbound routes measured in the same cycle, Berlin-Miami is ranked 9th, and its standard deviation is about 2.2 percent of the average RTT, below the 3.28 percent median across the route set. With no packet loss and tight jitter, the measurement offers a dependable RTT baseline for traffic destined toward Miami's North-South American gateway.

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 → MIA

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z · avg 118.3 ± 0.37 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (116.4–119.3 ms), median 117.5 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 (78.4 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Berlin (52.52437, 13.41053) and Miami (25.77427, -80.19366). It does not disclose either facility address.

Physical Reference	Value
WGS-84 geodesic distance	8,009.8 km
Vacuum RTT floor	53.44 ms
Standard fiber RTT floor ( $n_g=1.4679$ )	78.44 ms
Low-latency fiber material floor	78.12 ms
Engineering floor (5% path allowance)	82.37 ms
Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference	104.32 ms
Estimated unamplified path loss	1682.1 dB
Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers	106 / 105
Published RTT inflation over fiber floor	1.51×

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.
