Systems and methods for detecting real-time delays in electronic communications over computer networks in an ongoing manner and in environments in which users have no access to intermediary devices using a parallel processing stream

A system for detecting real-time delays in electronic communications over computer networks, using parallel processing streams, in an ongoing manner and with limited access to intermediary devices, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory, computer readable mediums comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause operations comprising:
• receiving an incoming data stream, wherein the incoming data stream is destined for a first application implemented on an intermediary device, and wherein the incoming data stream comprises time-series data comprising data packets at discrete time intervals, and wherein the first application performs one or more processing actions based on information detected in the data packets;
• generating a parallel processing stream by mirroring the incoming data stream prior to receipt by the intermediary device and supplementing each of the data packets with a respective sequence indicium corresponding to a respective time interval to generate supplemented data packets, wherein the parallel processing stream is destined for a second application implemented on a secondary device;
• comparing, by the second application, a first sequence indicium from a first data packet from the supplemented data packets to a second sequence indicium from a second data packet from the supplemented data packets to determine a processing speed for the first application, wherein the first application is implemented on the intermediary device;
• and
• determining the processing speed for the first application based on comparing the first sequence indicium to the second sequence indicium.
