Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for determining feature utilization in a software-defined network, an available feature set for the software-defined network is determined, wherein the available feature set is based on a version of the software-defined network. Features enabled on the software-defined network are determined. The features enabled in the software-defined network are compared to the available feature set. A network profile score is generated based on the comparing, where the network profile score includes constituent feature scores for features of the available feature set. The network profile score is presented in a graphical user interface, the network profile score providing an indication of feature utilization of the available feature set, where the graphical user interface allows for receiving a user interaction for presenting the constituent feature scores for the features of the available feature set responsive to the user interaction.
