Abstract
A first packet is sent via a network from a first network device to a first virtual device executing on a second network device. A first credit return is received, via the network, at the first network device. A first time duration is calculated as a time between the sending of the first packet and receipt of the first credit return. A second packet is sent via the network from the first network device to a second virtual device executing on the second network device. A second credit return is received at the first network device. A second time duration is calculated as a time between the sending of the second packet and receipt of the second credit return. Relative performance rankings are assigned to the first virtual device and the second virtual device based upon at least the first time duration and the second time duration.
