    2kb? While it may not sound like much, that’s at least three packets worth of data (depending on MTU). If you think about it in terms of how TCP sends packets and needs ACKs, there’s actually a lot of round trip data processing going on for just that one part.

      TCP will generally send up to 10 packets immediately without waiting for the ACKs (depending on the configured window size).

      Generally any messages or websites under 14kb will be transmitted in a single round-trip assuming no packets are dropped.
