ICMP echo RTT data for Taipei, Taiwan to Berlin, Germany: 50-sample average latency, jitter, packet loss, and insights from the 2026-08-15 round.

🇹🇼 Taipei, Taiwan (TPE) → 🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany (BER)

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

For the 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z round, ICMP echo requests from Taipei, Taiwan to Berlin, Germany returned an average round-trip time of 156.8 ms across 50 samples, with a minimum of 147.67 ms and a maximum of 184.35 ms. No packets were lost, and the 6.89 ms jitter stayed modest, leaving the route in the Fair latency tier.

This route ranks 9th among the 19 outbound routes measured in the same set, placing it near the middle of the group. Its 7.42 ms standard deviation equals about 4.7% of the average, above the network-wide median of 3.08%, so the round-trip time is somewhat more variable than typical for the network.

The geodesic distance of 8,970.4 km puts the theoretical fiber floor at 87.84 ms; the observed average is 1.78 times that floor, or 56% fiber efficiency. Zero packet loss and modest jitter indicate a consistently behaved path despite the route sitting well above the theoretical optimum.

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: TPE → BER

50 ICMP echo samples at 100 ms intervals · round 2026-08-15T04:03:13Z · avg 156.8 ± 1.05 ms (SE)

Sample distribution: box = interquartile range (152.1–159.8 ms), median 155.3 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 (87.8 ms) for this route.

Theoretical Fiber Latency

The public physical reference uses the GeoNames city centres for Taipei (25.05306, 121.52639) and Berlin (52.52437, 13.41053). It does not disclose either facility address.

WGS-84 geodesic distance	8,970.4 km
Vacuum RTT floor	59.84 ms
Standard fiber RTT floor ( $n_g=1.4679$ )	87.84 ms
Low-latency fiber material floor	87.49 ms
Engineering floor (5% path allowance)	92.25 ms
Research 1.33× mapped-fiber reference	116.83 ms
Estimated unamplified path loss	1883.8 dB

Published RTT inflation over fiber floor	1.78×

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.
