Language models translate network intents into traffic control configurations

Researchers have developed Intent2Tc, a framework that uses language models to translate high-level service intents into executable Linux traffic control configurations. This system integrates an active queue management digital twin, automated metadata extraction, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ensure semantic consistency and reliability. Evaluations showed that models like Claude Sonnet 4.6 achieved high accuracy, and RAG enabled smaller models such as Phi-4-mini to perform comparably to larger ones, while also reducing token consumption and inference latency.

IMPACT Demonstrates LLMs' capability in translating complex technical specifications, potentially streamlining network management automation.

    Intent2Tc: Automated Intent-to-Traffic Control Translation with Language Models

    arXiv:2609.31397v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated and highly usable Quality-of-Service (QoS) enforcement requires translating high-level service intents into deployable traffic-management policies. Although intent-based networking (IBN) has simplified policy specificati…
