    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network security device configured to monitor a communication session between a first device and a second device generates a first empty acknowledgment packet specifying a first sequence number and sends the first empty acknowledgment packet to the first device. The network security device may thereafter determine that a response from the first device has not been received within a threshold amount of time and generate, at least partly in response, a second empty acknowledgment packet specifying a second sequence number. The network security device may send the second empty acknowledgment packet to the first device and receive, from the first device, a third empty acknowledgment packet specifying a third sequence number. The network security device may then store the third sequence number in association with the communication session between the first device and the second device.
