Abstract
A collaboration server transmits a server data structure to each client in a collaboration session for a shared workspace. The server data structure specifies a plurality of network connection metrics and a plurality of corresponding weights. Each client receives the plurality of metrics and weights and determines various values (such as a measured value, normalized value, and/or weighted value) for each metric. Each client also calculates an overall connection value based on a plurality of weighted values determined for the plurality of metrics. Each client generates and displays a connection indicator based on the overall connection value which represents an overall quality of a network connection between the client and the collaboration server. Each client also receives a remote overall connection value corresponding to a remote client and generates and displays a remote connection indicator based on the remote overall connection value.
