Claim:
1. A computer program product that is not a transitory signal per se for analyzing a performance metric, the computer program product comprising: one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising instructions to: distribute link connection information for a network to each node in the network; pair each node with another node in the network; test a performance metric for each pair of nodes in the network according to an exponential back-off algorithm, wherein the exponential back off algorithm delays the occurrence of performance metric tests between pairs of nodes; determine whether an acceptable performance metric measurement has occurred for a pair of nodes; responsive to determining an acceptable performance metric measurement has occurred, halt performance metric tests between the pair of nodes; generate a performance report for the network; and adjust one or more connections between one or more pairs of nodes according to the generated performance report.
