1. A method comprising:
- using a processor to communicate with a component of a group of components to determine a parameter, wherein the group of components is part of a distributed network;
determining for each of components of the group of components, a range as a function of the parameter associated with the components of the group of components and a known tolerance value, wherein the value of the parameter associated with one excluded component of the group of components is excluded from the determination; and
determining whether the excluded component is operating properly by determining whether the value of the parameter associated with the excluded component is within the determined range.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining the performance of components of a distributed network is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining for each of the components, a range as a function of a time-based parameter associated with the components and a known tolerance value, wherein the value of the parameter associated with one selected component is excluded from the determination and determining whether the value of the parameter associated with the excluded component is within the determined range.
