Abstract
A method and system is disclosed that transmits a signal from a network manager to each of plural nodes to determine the availability of each node. A response time of each node is determined using the signal. The response time of each node is then relayed to a database of the network manager. Optionally, the response time which is received in a standard format is converted into a flat file format.
