1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one memory;
instructions in the apparatus; and
at least one processor to execute the instructions to:
identify an agent identifier from a plurality of network command responses, the plurality of network command responses including a plurality of network parameters;
initialize a first variable to a first time duration it takes at least one of the plurality of network command responses to tansmit between the at least one processor and an agent associated with the agent identifier;
initialize a second variable to a second time duration it takes the at least one processor to respond to an inventory request;
initialize a third variable to a total number of intermediate devices at least one of the plurality of network command responses passed through when transmitting from the agent to the at least one processor;
determine a fourth variable corresponding to a total time duration to transfer inventory data; and
determine a total weighted sum of the first variable, the second variable, the third variable, and the fourth variable, the total weighted sum corresponding to a connectivity factor of the agent.
