A method may include receiving, via a processor, a first set of data packets from a first computing device associated with a user over a first period of time. The method may then involve generating a network hop model indicative of one or more network hops traversed by the first set of data packets. The method may also include receiving a second set of data packets from the first computing device over a second period of time, determining whether the second set of data packets corresponds to the network hop model, and adjusting one or more operations associated with transmitting a third set of data packets to the first computing device in response to determining that the second set of data packets does not match the network hop model.
