A computer program product comprising a computer-usable medium having control logic stored therein for causing a computer to capture data packets on a network for evaluating response time performance, the network including a financial institution and a partner bank, the control logic comprising:

  • first computer-readable program code for causing the computer to capture a first data packet sent from the financial institution to the partner bank, the first data packet including an authorization request for a transaction;

    second computer-readable program code for causing the computer to check whether the captured first data packet includes a first pattern in a coded field;

    third computer-readable program code for causing the computer to capture a second data packet sent from the partner bank to the financial institution;

    fourth computer-readable program code for causing the computer to check whether the captured second data packet has a second pattern in a coded field that corresponds to the first pattern;

    fifth computer-readable program code for, upon determining that the captured second data packet has the second pattern, causing the computer to check whether at least one additional coded field of the captured second data packet matches at least one additional coded field of the captured first packet to determine whether a match has occurred; and

    sixth computer-readable program code for, upon determining that a match has occurred, causing the computer to determine whether a response time of the second data packet relative to a transmission time of the first data packet has exceeded a predetermined threshold, and, if so, to transmit an alert message.
