A method and system for quantifying the performance of a component adapted to function as a node in a communications network where the component is represented by a virtual distance (x) according to the following formula: <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="1"> <MATH OVERFLOW="SCROLL"> <MROW> <MI>x</MI> <MO>=</MO> <MFRAC> <MROW> <MSUB> <MI>S</MI> <MROW> <MI>i</MI> <MO>+</MO> <MN>1</MN> </MROW> </MSUB> <MO>-</MO> <MSUB> <MI>S</MI> <MI>i</MI> </MSUB> </MROW> <MI>IS</MI> </MFRAC> </MROW> </MATH> </MATHS> where the virtual distance x is a representation of a metric that relates to intrinsic properties of the component.
