Another fingerprint vector, with location leak.<p>"generally lacks required precision" well, generally, you combine measurement vectors to obtain required precision.
Has anyone tested this out on a real network?<p>I imagine that it won't work at all when you combine something like 3G (with random periods of hundreds of milliseconds of no packets delivered and them all queueing up), with a little packet reordering.<p>The 'spin' will end up measuring half, 1/3, or 1/4 the original RTT. The issue won't resolve until the connection ends up idle for at least 1 RTT.
