Direct ICMP echo RTT measurement from Miami, USA to New York, USA: 34 ms average latency, 0% packet loss, 0.71 ms jitter over 50 samples for network analysis.

🇺🇸 Miami, USA (MIA) → 🇺🇸 New York, USA (NYC)

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

Measurement round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z sampled 50 ICMP echo round trips from Miami to New York every 100 ms, producing a 34 ms average with a 33.05 ms minimum and a 36.91 ms maximum. The 0.71 ms jitter and 0% packet loss reflect a stable, loss-free path.

This route ranked second among the 19 outbound routes in the same round, and its 0.84 ms standard deviation corresponds to 2.47% of the average, below the 3.08% median standard-deviation-to-average ratio for the set. The latency spread is narrow and consistent.

For a great-circle distance of 1,753.2 km, the theoretical fiber floor is 17.17 ms; the observed 34 ms average is 1.98 times that floor. With 50.5% fiber efficiency, the route operates at roughly double the fiber-floor minimum.

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 → NYC

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 34.0 ± 0.12 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (33.4–34.4 ms), median 33.9 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 (17.2 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Miami (25.77427, -80.19366) and New York City (40.71427, -74.00597). It does not disclose either facility address.

WGS-84 geodesic distance	1,753.2 km
Vacuum RTT floor	11.7 ms
Standard fiber RTT floor ( $n_g=1.4679$ )	17.17 ms
Low-latency fiber material floor	17.1 ms
Engineering floor (5% path allowance)	18.03 ms
Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference	22.83 ms

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