Azure network round-trip latency statistics

This article provides round-trip latency statistics between Azure regions to help you optimize your cloud architecture and deployment decisions. The data comes from continuous network monitoring across Azure's global infrastructure and represents real-world performance measurements.

Use these statistics to:

• Plan multi-region deployments for optimal performance
• Select regions that minimize latency for your users
• Design disaster recovery strategies with latency considerations
• Benchmark expected performance between specific region pairs

What is round-trip latency?

Round-trip latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from one point in the network to another and back again. In the context of Azure, it measures the time taken for a packet to travel between two Azure regions. This metric is crucial for applications that require low-latency communication, such as real-time data processing, gaming, and financial transactions.

How is latency measured?

Azure measures round-trip latency using internal network probes that continuously monitor the performance of the Azure backbone network. These probes send data packets between Azure regions and record the time taken for the packets to travel to their destination and back. The measurements are collected in 1-minute intervals, providing a detailed view of network performance over time.

The latency statistics presented in this article are based on the 50th percentile (P50) of these measurements, which represents the median round-trip time. This means that half of the measured round-trip times are below this value, providing a reliable indicator of typical network performance.

Round-trip latency data by region

The monthly Percentile P50 round trip times between Azure regions for a 30-day window are shown in the following tabs. The latency is measured in milliseconds (ms).

The current dataset was taken on July 2, 2026, and it covers the 30-day period ending on July 2, 2026.

For readability, each table is split into tabs for groups of Azure regions. The tabs are organized by regions, and then by source region in the first column of each table. For example, the East US tab also shows the latency from all source regions to the two East US regions: East US and East US 2.

Additionally, you can view all of the data in a single CSV table:
