Patent attributes
System and techniques for network entity modeling are described herein. A set of network entities is obtained in which a first member of the set of network entities hosts a first service and, when in operation, has a connection to a second member of the set of network entities hosting a second service. A direct efficiency score is calculated for the first member of the set of network entities. The direct efficiency score is based on first resources required to use the first service. An aggregate efficiency score is also calculated based on second resources required to use the second service on the second member via the first member and the connection. Then a representation of the first member is provided that includes the direct efficiency score and the aggregate efficiency score.
