# Taipei, Taiwan → Singapore RTT

🇹🇼 **Taipei, Taiwan (TPE)** → 🇸🇬 **Singapore (SIN)**

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

For round 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z, the Taipei-to-Singapore path returned an average of **44.3 ms** across 50 ICMP probes, with a minimum of **42.61 ms** and a maximum of **50.6 ms**. Packet loss was **0%**, with **1.64 ms** standard deviation and **1.36 ms** jitter.

Over the 3,243.9 km great-circle distance, the observed average is only **1.39 times** the theoretical fiber floor of **31.77 ms**, yielding **71.7%** fiber efficiency. Within the 19 outbound routes from this source, the route ranks third.

The network-wide median standard-deviation-to-average ratio is **3.28%**, while this route's ratio is about **3.7%**, so consistency is close to the set's typical level despite the strong overall ranking. The standout feature is how close the measured RTT comes to the physical distance floor for an excellent-tier Asia-Pacific route.

## 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](/opendata/latency/). Per-pair files are available at `/opendata/latency/latest/pairs/tpe-sin.pings.{csv,json,yaml}`. When citing, include the route, the measurement round timestamp, and the dataset version — for example: "Hats Network latency dataset, Taipei → Singapore round 2026-08-16T04:07:28Z, CC BY 4.0".
