Berlin to Miami ICMP RTT page: average and minimum latency, jitter, packet loss, and route efficiency measurements between Germany and the USA.

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

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

For the 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z round, 50 ICMP echo requests from Berlin, Germany to Miami, USA returned an average RTT of 117.8 ms, with a 111.21 ms minimum and a 138.32 ms maximum. No packets were lost, and jitter measured 4.75 ms, keeping this in the Good latency tier across an 8,009.8 km geodesic span.

This path ranks 9th among the 19 outbound routes in its measurement group. Its observed standard deviation of 5.45 ms, or about 4.6 percent of the average, is higher than the group's typical 3.08 percent spread relative to average latency, so the route is stable but not the tightest of the set.

At 117.8 ms, the observed RTT is 1.5 times the 78.44 ms fiber floor and corresponds to 66.6 percent fiber efficiency, leaving 39.36 ms of headroom over a straight fiber path. Given Miami's position as the NAP of the Americas gateway, the zero-loss profile is useful context for a route landing at a major North-South interconnection point.

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 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 117.8 ± 0.77 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (114.2–120.4 ms), median 116.1 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 (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	1.5×

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-mia.pings.{csv,json,yaml}.
