CONFIGURATION ENTITY RATING
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of constraints corresponding to a plurality of configuration entities comprising at least a first configuration entity and a second configuration entity, wherein the plurality of constraints that match particular configuration values for the plurality of configuration entities;
assigning rating values to constraints that match the particular configuration values, wherein the rating values are based, at least in part, on an importance criterion corresponding to the first configuration entity and the second configuration entity respectively;
generating a configuration scoring and ranking template comprising information corresponding to the plurality of constraints and the particular configuration values; and
assigning the first configuration entity to a first network class and the second configuration entity to a second and different network class, wherein the first and second network classes have different rating values assigned to the constraints that match the particular configuration values.

Abstract
A method may include identifying a plurality of constraints corresponding to a plurality of configuration entities comprising at least a first configuration entity and a second configuration entity. The plurality of constraints can match particular configuration values for the plurality of configuration entities. The method may further include assigning rating values to constraints that match the particular configuration values. The rating values can be based on an importance criterion corresponding to the first configuration entity and the second configuration entity respectively. The method can further include generating a configuration scoring and ranking template comprising information corresponding to the plurality of constraints and the particular configuration values and assigning the first configuration entity to a first network category and the second configuration entity to a second and different network category. The first and second network categories can have different rating values assigned to the constraints that match the particular configuration values.

8. An apparatus, comprising:
a configuration component provisioned with processing resources, the configuration component to cause; a plurality of constraints corresponding to a plurality of configuration entities to be determined; a determination to be made that a constraint matches a configuration value associated with the plurality of configuration entities; rating values to be assigned to the configuration values, wherein the rating values are based, at least in part, on the determination that the constraint matches the configuration values and an importance criterion corresponding to respective configuration entities among the plurality of configuration entities; and configuration scores to be generated for the plurality of configuration entities, wherein the configuration scores are based, at least in part, on the rating values. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computing device to:
-
generate a configuration scoring and ranking template; populate the configuration scoring and ranking template with configuration scores based on importance criteria corresponding to configuration entities in a network; rank entries corresponding to configuration entities in the configuration scoring and ranking template based on the configuration scores; and generate an optimized network configuration using the ranked entries in the configuration ranking and scoring template. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
