An LLM-Based Framework for Intent-Driven Network Topology Design

arXiv:2607.00292v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing deployable and resilient network topologies from natural language requirements remains a challenging problem in network automation. This work investigates the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate structurally valid and constraint-compliant network topologies through a constraint-driven pipeline combining hierarchical modeling and systematic validation. The framework is evaluated via a multimodel comparison of proprietary and open-weight LLMs across four realistic network scenarios released as a public dataset. We assess

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing maturity of large language models, coupled with growing complexity in network automation, creates an imperative to apply advanced AI to infrastructure design challenges.

Why it’s important

This development indicates a significant step towards fully autonomous and intent-driven network management, potentially reducing operational costs and improving resilience for large-scale infrastructure.

What changes

Network topology design, traditionally a manual and complex process, can now be augmented or potentially led by LLMs, shifting towards more automated and AI-driven infrastructure creation.

Second-order effects
Direct

LLMs begin to generate viable and deployable network architectures directly from high-level requirements.

Second

The cost and time associated with designing and deploying complex network infrastructure significantly decrease.

Third

Network operations become less reliant on human intervention, leading to highly dynamic and self-optimizing global infrastructure meshes.
