RFCLLM: Evaluating LLMs' Reasoning Ability of Network Protocol State Machines

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

Mapping textual specifications into formal representations is essential for ensuring the correctness of protocol designs and implementations. LLM-generated mappings, used for networking security or testing, are assumed to capture a perfect understanding of the specification, which may not hold in practice. The goal of this paper is to assess the extent to which LLMs can interpret the specification correctly. We examine the degree to which an LLM's implicit representation of a finite-state transition system-defined via natural language descriptions-aligns with a manually generated ground-truth
