Internet Access Performance Monitoring displays the average latency from on-premises locations worldwide to Alibaba Cloud regions. Use this data to select the optimal region for deploying your services.
Usage disclaimer
The network latency and other performance data provided by Internet Access Performance Monitoring are for reference only. Alibaba Cloud makes no promises or guarantees regarding the accuracy or real-time nature of this data. Actual network performance depends on real-world conditions.
The displayed network latency originates from a dedicated ECS probe cluster operated by Alibaba Cloud. This cluster periodically sends and receives performance probe packets and presents aggregated statistics on the monitoring page. Because the probe cluster operates independently of tenant resources, it does not affect or consume any of your resources. The monitoring data is unrelated to your actual resource deployment on Alibaba Cloud.

Log on to the NIS console.
In the left navigation pane, choose .
Set the view to China or Global, and select the destination region you want to check.
In the Latency from regions in China or globally to the destination region section, hover your mouse over any location on the map to see detailed latency data.
NoteBased on round-trip time (RTT) ranges shown on the public network performance map, consider these application recommendations:
RTT <= 10 ms: Industrial automation, remote driving, ultrasound inspection
RTT <= 50 ms: Real-time competitive games
RTT <= 100 ms: Real-time interactive games, interactive voice
RTT <= 150 ms: Real-time interactive video
RTT <= 300 ms: General applications
RTT > 300 ms: Evaluate whether this latency meets your business needs based on your specific scenario
In the Latency from regions in China or globally by ISP to the destination region section, filter by Region, ISP, Latency, and other criteria to view latency by region and ISP.
