Abstract
A device may include one or more memories and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories to: receive a plurality of data packets of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session; determine that a particular TCP segment, of the TCP session that includes a synchronization acknowledgment (SYN-ACK) flag, has been received before a corresponding TCP segment of the TCP session that includes a synchronization (SYN) flag; store a sequence number of the particular TCP segment as an initial sequence number for a stream of the TCP session; and reassemble or rearrange a set of data packets of the TCP session based on the initial sequence number for the stream and based on one or more sequence numbers of the set of data packets.
