The A/V Conferencing Server Performance report provides lists the metrics achieved by one or more A/V Conferencing Servers during the specified time period. Use this report to compare the volume and performance of your various A/V Conferencing Servers. You can also isolate the report to show only the experience for specific client types, including Office Communicator, Live Meeting Client, or public switched telephone network (PSTN) clients.

For each A/V Conferencing Server, the report displays the following:

You can sort the results by each column. You can click an A/V Conferencing Server name to see the list of calls handled by that server, and the quality scores for each individual call. In this listing of individual calls, the overall average scores for that A/V Conferencing Server’s calls are shown at the top of each column.

Scenarios

  • Use this report to compare the performance numbers for your various A/V Conferencing Servers to see if one performs significantly worse than the others, indicating that it may have issues that need to be addressed.

  • Examine the relative quality of Office Communicator, Office Communicator Phone Edition, Live Meeting client, and other clients by using the Client Type filter to see the metrics separately for each of these types of clients.
