Miami, USA to Berlin, Germany ICMP RTT data: average latency, jitter, packet loss, and fiber efficiency for this transatlantic route.

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

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

The 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z round measured Miami, USA to Berlin, Germany at an average of 116.8 ms ICMP RTT, with a minimum of 113.3 ms, a maximum of 127.02 ms, and no packet loss. The standard deviation of 2.68 ms and jitter of 2.41 ms are tight, so latency movement across these 50 samples was modest.

Berlin holds rank 10 among the 19 Miami-origin routes in this round for average round-trip time. Its variation relative to the mean is about 2.3%, noticeably below the 3.08% median variation for the route set, making this one of the steadier transatlantic paths in the group.

At 8,009.8 km apart, Miami and Berlin have a fiber floor estimate of 78.44 ms and a line-of-sight vacuum bound of 53.44 ms. The observed average is 1.49 times the fiber floor, or 67.2% of the theoretical bound; despite the longer distance to eastern Germany, the path holds stable latency and loses no packets in this round.

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: MIA → BER

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 116.8 ± 0.38 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (115.0–117.9 ms), median 116.3 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 Miami (25.77427, -80.19366) and Berlin (52.52437, 13.41053). 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	1.49×

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.
