| WGS-84 geodesic distance | 8,156.1 km |
| Vacuum RTT floor | 54.41 ms |
| Standard fiber RTT floor () | 79.87 ms |
| Low-latency fiber material floor | 79.55 ms |
| Engineering floor (5% path allowance) | 83.88 ms |
| Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference | 106.23 ms |
| Estimated unamplified path loss | 1712.8 dB |
| Transparent optical spans / inline amplifiers | 108 / 107 |
| Published RTT inflation over fiber floor | 1.43× |
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. End-user latency also depends on local access networks, congestion, routing policy, and traffic engineering. Stability indicators are comparative estimates, and none of these values is an SLA.
