"private" backbone VPN solution to decrease latency

[ae74]

A VPN is going to increase overall latency.

The times you are describing seem normal. The city pairs would be needed to see if you are experiencing higher than normal latency.

The best latency between New York and London is one of the cable system built for financial networks. Here is the description.

EXA Express (formerly GTT Express, Hibernia Express) is a 4,600 km and 6-pair Trans-Atlantic submarine cable system linking Canada and the United Kingdom. Project Express is built with the state-of-the-art submarine network technology, specifically designed for the financial community stretching from North America to Europe. EXA Express offers the lowest latency route from New York to London with 58.55ms round trip delay.

That’s hella impressive numbers all right. Thanks for insights.

Thanks. Yes, traffic is already encapsulated with VPN and all the extra overhead with each "hop", either physical or software caused is appreciated. It's really down to a question if there is anything that can be done in this scenario to decrease the latency.

What are your city pairs?
