1. A method of analyzing communication from nodes in a network, comprising:
- obtaining time of arrival information for chunks of data in the network;
constructing a signal to represent the time of arrival information, the signal consisting of data that is non-uniformly spaced; and
processing the signal using a Lomb technique to obtain periodicity information about the signal.

Abstract
A system processes communication signals in a network [100, 200]. The system may obtain time of arrival information for chunks of data in the network and construct a signal [410, 420] represent the time of arrival information. The signal may consist of data that is non-uniformly spaced. The system may process the signal using a Lomb technique to obtain periodicity information [600, 800] about the signal.
