Abstract
System, method and program determining a network path by which a workstation can send a message to a target network. The workstation accesses a first part of the network path via a network access server. A plurality of other servers by which the workstation can access a second part of the network path leading to the target network are identified. Respective response times to communicate between the workstation or the network access server and each of the other servers are measured. A determination is made which one of the other servers has a shortest response time. The workstation attempts to connect to the one server, before attempting to connect to other of the other servers, to access the second part of the network. The second part of the network can be a virtual private network, and the other servers are entry point servers for respective virtual private networks.
