Frankfurt, Germany to Miami, USA: ICMP RTT latency measurements from the 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z round, including average, min/max, jitter, and packet loss.

🇩🇪 Frankfurt, Germany (FRA) → 🇺🇸 Miami, USA (MIA)

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

ICMP echo RTT from Frankfurt to Miami in round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z averaged 113.8 ms, bottoming out at 108.19 ms and peaking at 128.03 ms, with 0% packet loss over 50 probes.

Against the 7,777.9 km geodesic reference, the fiber floor is 76.17 ms; the measured average is 1.49x that floor, translating to about 66.9% line efficiency and leaving room for realistic network overhead.

Miami ranked 9th of the 19 outbound routes measured from Frankfurt for the round. The 4.41 ms standard deviation is roughly 3.9% of the 113.8 ms average, just above the 3.08% median ratio across those 19 routes, so the midpoint latency is steady but the spread around it is a little wider than typical.

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: FRA → MIA

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 113.8 ± 0.62 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (110.4–115.2 ms), median 112.8 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 (76.2 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Frankfurt am Main (50.11552, 8.68417) and Miami (25.77427, -80.19366). It does not disclose either facility address.

Physical Reference	Value
WGS-84 geodesic distance	7,777.9 km
Vacuum RTT floor	51.89 ms
Standard fiber RTT floor ( $n_g=1.4679$ )	76.17 ms
Low-latency fiber material floor	75.86 ms
Engineering floor (5% path allowance)	79.99 ms
Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference	101.3 ms
Estimated unamplified path loss	1633.4 dB
Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers	103 / 102
Published RTT inflation over fiber floor	1.49×

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.

Per-pair files are available at /opendata/latency/latest/pairs/fra-mia.pings.{csv,json,yaml}.
