arXiv:2608. 11340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Symbolic network verifiers can reason about correctness across vast spaces of routing inputs and failures, but only for the protocols and features an expert has encoded by hand.

FaulT-Bench is a new benchmark comprising 200 network troubleshooting scenarios across eight topologies, designed to test large‑language‑model agents on realistic, noisy tickets that may contain false premises or incorrect fault claims. The benchmark includes 72 rewritten tickets that vary reporter confidence and detail, and evaluates agents via an automated harness that scores diagnoses on outcome, fix, and reasoning quality. Results show that while agents perform well on accurate tickets, they degrade sharply on healthy networks with misleading reports, highlighting the importance of ticket wording over content.

FaulT-Bench is a new benchmark comprising 200 network troubleshooting scenarios across eight topologies, designed to test large‑language‑model agents on realistic, noisy user tickets that may contain false premises or incorrect fault claims. The benchmark includes 72 rewritten tickets that vary reporter confidence and detail while keeping the network state constant, allowing isolation of the impact of ticket wording on diagnosis. Evaluation of agents such as SADE, ReAct, and Claude Code shows they perform well on accurate tickets but degrade sharply on misleading or healthy‑network tickets, revealing differing failure modes and highlighting the importance of robust reasoning over unreliable input.

The paper introduces complete cyclic subtask graphs for large language model agents, enabling a workflow controller where all subtasks are fully connected and a unified agent selects transitions based on natural‑language criteria. It evaluates task‑specific and benchmark‑generic cyclic graphs on TextCraft, ALFWorld, and Finance‑Agent, comparing them to ReAct and dependency‑directed workflows, and identifies three distinct workflow signatures that influence the effectiveness of cyclic routing. The study also provides a workflow‑signature matrix, robustness analysis, token‑cost accounting, and failure‑mode structure, concluding that cyclic subtask graphs serve as a diagnostic tool to determine when flexible backtracking is worthwhile versus when simpler controllers suffice.
