The application is basically a web site and making lot of small trips.
Currently the application server and the database server are in LAN with the
maximum latency of 8ms and the WAN latency may well be guaranteed to the
latency of 20 to 25 ms with having enough bandwidth. I believe we could
capture the data using the statspack of how much data is being transferred
between client and the server. The unknown value would be how many requests
are being made by the SQL NET and the JDBC driver as a overhead for the
handshaking and other underlying protocols.

I think you need to look at your application architecture. Some applications
network better than others. Does the application make a lot of small trips
across the network, or just a few larger ones? That is the other issue to
consider in addition to network latency. How much latency is acceptable will
depend on the architecture and the expectations of your users. If they
insist response be as fast as on a LAN, then you better have low latency. If
they are more tolerant, then more latency can be tolerated.
