Maintaining communications integrity of network-based user interactions

A network device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• monitor, via the communication interface, data communications transmitted in a provider network connecting a first user device to at least one of a second user device or a network-based application provider,
• determine, based on the monitoring, that the data communications are associated with a user-interactive data session,
• obtain current attribute values for the data communications;
• apply a set of rules that define a plurality of compromised communications states as a function of reference attribute values that correspond to the current attribute values;
• evaluate the current attribute values against the set of rules to determine a compromised communications state with respect to the user-interactive data session;
• and
• implement, based on the compromised communications state, at least one compensating efficiency with respect to the data communications transmitted via the provider network during the user-interactive data session.

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a network device to:

• monitor data communications transmitted in a provider network connecting a first user device to at least one of a second user device or a network-based applications host,
• determine, based on the monitoring, that the data communications are associated with a user-interactive data session,
• obtain current attribute values for the data communications;
• apply a set of rules that define a plurality of compromised communications states as a function of reference attribute values that correspond to the current attribute values;
• evaluate the current attribute values against the set of rules to determine a compromised communications state with respect to the user-interactive data session;
• and
• implement, based on the compromised communications state, at least one compensating efficiency with respect to the data communications transmitted via the provider network during the user-interactive data session.
