What do LLMs need to Synthesize Correct Router Configurations?

Rajdeep Mondal, Alan Tang, Ryan Beckett +2

We investigate whether Large Language Models (e.g., GPT-4) can synthesize correct router configurations with reduced manual effort. We find GPT-4 works very badly by itself, produc…

Test Coverage for Network Configurations

Xieyang Xu, Weixin Deng, Ryan Beckett +2

We develop NetCov, the first tool to reveal which network configuration lines are being tested by a suite of network tests. It helps network engineers improve test suites and thus…

FP4: Line-rate Greybox Fuzz Testing for P4 Switches

Nofel Yaseen, Liangcheng Yu, Caleb Stanford +2

Compared to fixed-function switches, the flexibility of programmable switches comes at a cost, as programmer mistakes frequently result in subtle bugs in the network data plane. In…

ACORN: Network Control Plane Abstraction using Route Nondeterminism

Divya Raghunathan, Ryan Beckett, Aarti Gupta +1

Networks are hard to configure correctly, and misconfigurations occur frequently, leading to outages or security breaches. Formal verification techniques have been applied to guara…

LIGHTYEAR: Using Modularity to Scale BGP Control Plane Verification

Alan Tang, Ryan Beckett, Steven Benaloh +4

Current network control plane verification tools cannot scale to large networks, because of the complexity of jointly reasoning about the behaviors of all nodes in the network. In…

Kirigami, the Verifiable Art of Network Cutting

Tim Alberdingk Thijm, Ryan Beckett, Aarti Gupta +1

We introduce a modular verification approach to network control plane verification, where we cut a network into smaller fragments to improve the scalability of SMT solving. Users p…

Contra: A Programmable System for Performance-aware Routing

Kuo-Feng Hsu, Ryan Beckett, Ang Chen +3

We present Contra, a system for performance-aware routing that can adapt to traffic changes at hardware speeds. While existing work has developed point solutions for performance-aw…

Control Plane Compression

Ryan Beckett, Aarti Gupta, Ratul Mahajan +1

We develop an algorithm capable of compressing large networks into a smaller ones with similar control plane behavior: For every stable routing solution in the large, original netw…
