> As an example, here’s a measurement of jitter (variance in round trip time) between two of our data centers, Chicago and Newark, over a transit provider’s network... Average jitter over the pictured 6 hours is 4ms, with average round trip latency of 27ms.
> Here’s the same jitter chart between Chicago and Newark, except this time, transiting the Cloudflare Global Private Backbone... Here we see a jitter measurement of 536μs (microseconds), almost eight times better than the measurement over a transit provider between the same two sites.
This is really impressive. Will be interesting to see what's possible when network roundtrips are 2 orders of magnitude more stable.
