A long round-trip time isn't evil all by itself. What's bad is asymmetric flight times. You get that from either queuing delays (busy links) or non-symmetric routing. Short round trip times usually have less opportunity for asymmetric routing. They can still get long queueing delays. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
