Sub 0.5 ms? I doubt you can achieve that even if you server is hooked up in the same building as Cloudflare's.
Yes, we are currently using Datapacket, but my boss is not satisfied and requires a faster server. If you can find one, please let me know. Thank you! 😃
Pinging my own router gets me ~0.7ms...
OP has absolutely no chance (unless they move their services to CF Workers). Bestest of luck when telling your boss that.
May be same rack same switch, even same building packets still need to pass multiple routers and switch too…
HostHatch HongKong is close if 0.6-0.7 counts
I think it's hard, too
But I can only do it
If you find something new, let me know. I'll pay you
HH is good, but he's over 0.5
Datapacket and Cloudflare are in the same data center, so it’ll be hard to find better results than Datapacket..

None below 0.5ms, Leaseweb HK and Hytron are close at 0.55-0.60ms
No one can do this better than Datapacket.
The only one that could pull of a sub 0.5ms to Cloudflare is ... Cloudflare.
I'm getting around 0.7ms from HH, and 0.6 to 0.7 from LW in HK to 1.1.1.1.
As @sh97 showed (and doing it the right way btw), the best would be Hytron, but even that is >0.5ms but below 0.6ms.
i don’t know if it’s a personal thing or some business related thing,
in my opinion, get a very close network location to cf and have a high traffic volume through them, why not have a talk with cloudflare, they may offer beer lantency results.
if it’s just for personal use, in the same dc is good enough.
We have tried leaseweb and hytron.
We didn't choose them because they were larger than 0.5 ms.
If you can find something better, you can also tell us and I'll pay you.
Like the others said, I think it's impossible.
As you can see from the globalping test I did, over 75 probes were used, none of them were able to go below 0.5ms, the closest being Hytron and Leaseweb.
Have a look with Azure/Google Cloud/AWS, in case they are able to achieve that.
Good luck in your search.
I mean at this point why not just get Cloudflare PNI yourself?
I'm genuinely curious as to the case where 0.6ms is no good for you use-case but 0.5ms or 0.4ms would make a noticeable difference.
Is this some sort of algorithmic trading setup or something?
Curious, because sometimes I obsess over minor details that have no real world benefit. I'm wondering if I need to be obsessing over this, too.
He might be a scalper and needs to compete with peers for items.
likely trading related
Guess it may be related to quantitative trading?
no one can find it?
I can increase the stake to 30U
If you have any new discoveries please send them to my telegrambot @zytwoway_bot
That is near impossible to have 0.5ms unless your "server" is running inside of cloudflare servers
From my experience working with routers for decades now, even with the latest, fastest packet processors there are, sub 0.5ms is unlikely.
If you were connected to the same switch as Cloudflare's servers, you could get 0.1xx to 0.2.
I can get 0.2 to 0.4 from one server connected to a switch to a server in another switch, but first crossing through a core switch. That involves several SFP+/qsfp+ modules and at least three switches processing that packet.
But once that packet crosses a router and has to somehow go into "the public internet", even if it's just a few simple cables here and there within the same building crossing two or three routers and several switches, it will easily jump to beyond 0.5.
To get sub 0.5ms to a Cloudflare server, you'd have to be connected to the switches owned and operated by Cloudflare.
If 0.1ms makes such a big difference for you and your boss then the only way is to talk directly with cloudflare. There's nothing else to do
The service to which our server is going is on cloudflare argo
Can you do this in Hong Kong?
As a person, I don't think I can talk to Cloudflare
No price limit
Dedicated servers is ok
Unicom cloud ?

I'm with everyone else; I don't see how you will achieve this. Peering with Cloudflare at an exchange point isn't going to accomplish it. Here's a trace doing exactly that:
Cloudflare has a private network interconnect service but I can't really comment on it: https://developers.cloudflare.com/network-interconnect/ or if anyone is using that in HK.
Nah, I don't think that's related to high-frequency trading. HFT is all about chasing ultra-low latency to the stock exchange, so it wouldn't really involve Cloudflare.
cloudflare + datapacket is in equinix HK2, so 0.5ms is possible.
GSL (customers such as HH) is in equinix HK1 + mega-I IDC, so latency will be higher.
go look for providers in equinix HK2
