AI system learns network behavior autonomously for verification

Researchers have developed a novel approach to network verification by creating self-evolving verifiers that automatically learn and adapt to actual network behavior. This system uses a coding agent to propose extensions to a symbolic encoding, with an oracle providing ground-truth routing state to guide the agent in refining the network model. As a demonstration, a prototype successfully taught a verifier three new features, including OSPF areas, BGP route reflection, and L3VPN over EVPN, autonomously converging on models that accurately reflect vendor-specific behaviors.
