Paris, France → New York, USA RTT

🇫🇷 Paris, France (PAR) → 🇺🇸 New York, USA (NYC)

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

For the 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z measurement round, ICMP echo RTT from Paris, France to New York, USA averaged 68.9 ms across 50 samples taken at 100 ms intervals. The minimum was 66.76 ms, the maximum 73.07 ms, and no packets were lost.

The route ranked 7th among 19 outbound routes measured from Paris. The standard deviation of 1.55 ms is about 2.2 percent of the average RTT, below the 3.28 percent median relative variability across the measured set, and jitter stayed at just 1.37 ms.

With a great-circle distance of 5,852.7 km, the fiber-floor estimate is near 57.31 ms, and the 68.9 ms average is only 1.2 times that floor, implying 83.2% fiber efficiency. The tight alignment with the physical reference suggests an efficient intercontinental route with very stable timing.

Latency Summary

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.

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (67.7–69.8 ms), median 68.6 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 (57.3 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Paris (48.85341, 2.34880) and New York City (40.71427, -74.00597). It does not disclose either facility address.

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.
