Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to optimize a network that is formed from a plurality of nodes. The instructions cause the processor to execute an order that the plurality of nodes perform a probing operation. The order is typically round robin. The processor receives a request from a client that identifies a next node to perform the probing operation. Based on the request, the processor changes the order so that the next node performs the probing operation after the current node that is performing the probing operation has completed the operation.
