NetAgentBench: A State-Centric Benchmark for Evaluating Agentic Network Configuration

arXiv:2604.09678v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As agentic network management gains popularity, there is a critical need for evaluation frameworks that transcend static, one-shot testing. To address this, we introduce NetAgentBench, a dynamic benchmark that evaluates agent interactions through a Finite State Machine (FSM) formalization guaranteeing determinism, correctness, and bounded execution. This provides the networking landscape with a rigorous foundation to measure complex, multi-turn o
