Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions for causing a computer to capture data packets on a network for evaluating response time performance, the plurality of instructions, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform operations comprising: capturing a first data packet, the first data packet including an authorization request for a transaction; determining that the captured first data packet includes a first pattern in a coded field; capturing a second data packet; determining that the captured second data packet includes a second pattern in a coded field that corresponds to the first pattern; determining that the captured second data packet contains the second pattern, wherein an additional coded field of the captured second data packet is checked to determine that the second data packet matches an additional coded field of the captured first packet to determine whether a match has occurred; determining that the response time of the second data packet relative to a transmission time of the first data packet has exceeded a predetermined threshold in response to the determination that the match has occurred; and transmitting an alert message, in response to the determination that the response time of the second data packet relative to the transmission time of the first data packet has exceeded the predetermined threshold, wherein the alert message includes coded field data from a portion of at least the captured first data packet or captured second data packet, wherein the captured first packet and the captured second packet each contain a header portion and a data portion distinct from the header portion, wherein the coded field and the at least one additional coded field of the captured first packet are contained within the data portion of the captured first packet, and wherein the coded field and the at least one additional coded field of the captured second packet are contained within the data portion of the captured second packet.
