So does this happen for every single request? or is this based on a single session.

This is what happens under the hood of every ping request.

ping would refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility) in this context, which is quite unrelated to TLS.

Per session.

Unrelated but: based on your understanding of establishing a TLS session with a server, and then traffic through that connection, do you think the new Gmail user interface for the web (desktop) is sufficiently speedy?

The reason I ask in this thread is that this thread treats some of the low-level minimum traffic necessary between clients and servers.
