To put it into perspective:

According to this (at the time of reading) a one way trip at the speed of light is ~75 minutes, so you will have approximately two and a half hours of ping.

Ouch.

Still, it raises an interesting question: how would a hypothetical Earth-Titan network protocol work?

That protocol exists, it is called Delay-Tolerant-Networking.

Can't do much about the time it takes light to get here, so I guess the answer is we'd have to learn to love 75 minute ping :)

If you can't be with the one you ping, ping the one you're with.
