  • Patent number: 12596568
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for determining a packet's round trip time (RTT) in a network. A system can receive information of a packet sent by a component of the network and further determine an expected acknowledgement (ACK) sequence number associated with the packet based upon received information of the packet. The system can receive information of a subsequent packet received by the component and determine an ACK sequence number and a receiving time of the subsequent packet. In response to determining that the ACK sequence number of the subsequent TCP packet matches the expected ACK sequence number, the system can determine a round trip time (RTT) of the packet based upon the received information of the packet and the received information of the subsequent packet.

  • Publication number: 20250330528
    Abstract: Approaches for evaluating user devices are disclosed. Devices that are physically proximate to a user device are determined. A first geolocation is determined based on the devices that are physically proximate to a user device. Data communications involving the user are evaluated. A second geolocation is determined based on an evaluation of the data communications involving the user. A proximity of the first geolocation with respect to the second geolocation is determined. The proximity of the first geolocation and the second geolocation are evaluated with respect to a threshold value to determine if the first geolocation and the second geolocation are sufficiently proximate.
