Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one embodiment, a computer server running a social networking application aggregates raw local area network (LAN) traffic data received from one or more listening nodes in one or more LANs. The aggregated LAN traffic data is comprised of multiple entries, each of which includes a MAC address for a networked device, as well as an association between each MAC address and a user of a social networking system. The computer server may then detect, identify, and qualify recurring patterns when a particular user is on the same LAN as other users of the social networking system. Based upon the qualified patterns, the social networking system may suggest friend connections or other interactions on the social networking system to the particular user.
