Detailed ICMP echo RTT data for Miami, USA to Frankfurt, Germany, including average latency, jitter, packet loss, and route stability.

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

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

The 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z measurement round for Miami to Frankfurt produced an average ICMP RTT of 112.2 ms over 50 samples, with a minimum of 108.19 ms and a maximum of 121.5 ms. There was zero packet loss, and jitter of 2.73 ms placed the path in the good latency tier.

With a geodesic distance of 7,777.9 km, the vacuum floor is 51.89 ms and the theoretical fiber floor is 76.17 ms. The 112.2 ms average is about 1.47 times the fiber floor, or 67.9% fiber efficiency, showing a moderate amount of overhead beyond the shortest feasible optical path.

The route placed 8th out of 19 outbound routes measured from Miami, just ahead of the midpoint. Its standard deviation of 3.61 ms represents about 3.2% of the average, slightly below the network-wide median standard-deviation-to-average ratio of 3.28%, so stability was broadly in line with typical performance.

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 → FRA

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z · avg 112.2 ± 0.51 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (109.5–113.7 ms), median 111.2 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 Miami (25.77427, -80.19366) and Frankfurt am Main (50.11552, 8.68417). 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	1.47×

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