Method for determining feature utilization in a software-defined network

In a computer system having a graphical user interface including a display device and a user interface selection device, a method for determining feature utilization in a software-defined network, the method comprising:

• determining an available feature set for the software-defined network, wherein the available feature set is based on a version of the software-defined network;
• determining features enabled on the software-defined network based at least in part on telemetry data for the software-defined network and on an analysis of the software-defined network;
• comparing the features enabled in the software-defined network to the available feature set;
• generating a network profile score based on the comparing, wherein the network profile score comprises constituent feature scores for features of the available feature set;
• presenting the network profile score in the graphical user interface, the network profile score providing an indication of feature utilization of the available feature set;
• responsive to a user interaction with the network profile score at the graphical user interface, presenting the constituent feature scores for the features of the available feature set responsive to the user interaction;
• responsive to a second user interaction selecting a feature corresponding to a constituent feature score at the graphical user interface, presenting information related to the feature;
• and
• provided the constituent feature score is indicative of less than full enablement of the feature, presenting a selectable control for increasing enablement of the feature.

A computer system comprising:

• a graphical user interface;
• a display device;
• a user interface selection device;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• determine an available feature set for a software-defined network, wherein the available feature set is based on a version of the software-defined network;
• determine features enabled on the software-defined network based at least in part on telemetry data for the software-defined network and on an analysis of the software-defined network;
• generate a network profile score based on comparing the features enabled in the software-defined network to the available feature set, wherein the network profile score comprises constituent feature scores for features of the available feature set;
• present the network profile score in the graphical user interface, the network profile score providing an indication of feature utilization of the available feature set;
• responsive to a user interaction with the network profile score at the graphical user interface, present the constituent feature scores for the features of the available feature set responsive to the user interaction;
• responsive to a second user interaction selecting a feature corresponding to a constituent feature score at the graphical user interface, present information related to the feature;
• and
• provided the constituent feature score is indicative of less than full enablement of the feature, present a selectable control for increasing enablement of the feature.
