Claim 3:
4. A method according to claim 1, wherein the correlation matrix having m(m−1) elements is used to determine a correlation index ca of an interface a, as follows:, c
   a
  
  =
  
   
    
     ∑
     
      i
      =
      0
     
     
      a
      -
      1
     
    
    
     c
     ia
    
   
   +
   
    
     ∑
     
      i
      =
      
       a
       +
       1
      
     
     
      m
      -
      1
     
    
    
     c
     ai
    
   
  
 

wherein m is the number of interfaces connected to peer nodes, and cia is a first correlation coefficient corresponding to node i, interface a, and cai is a second correlation coefficient corresponding to interface a, node i.
