The ideal is actually one round trip, plus page_bytes/link_bandwidth.

There are very large and scary beasts in the waters of the unexplored
country of defining an application-layer transport without regard to larger
factors such as... not crashing the internet, and that is without
considering how to deal with packet loss :)
