AgenticNet: Utilizing AI Coding Agents To Create Hybrid Network Experiments

Traditional network experiments focus on validation through either simulation or emulation. Each approach has its own advantages and limitations. In this work, we present a new tool for next-generation network experiments created through Artificial Intelligence (AI) coding agents. This tool facilitates hybrid network experimentation through simulation and emulation capabilities. The tool supports three main operation modes: pure simulation, pure emulation, and hybrid mode. AgenticNet provides a more flexible approach to creating experiments for cases that may require a combination of simulation and emulation. In addition, AgenticNet supports rapid development through AI agents. We experimentally evaluate the tool and present an approach to verify the generated code.

OVS Meets PQ-TLS: Exploring Post-Quantum TLS for SDN's Southbound API

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a novel networking paradigm that enables network programmability and centralized control for network devices. The southbound application programming interface (API) is used to control and manage the underlying data plane devices. The existing southbound API relies on TLS with legacy cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and ECDSA. In this paper, we explore the performance of the southbound API with postquantum TLS (PQ-TLS) support. We present a proof-of-concept of using PQ-TLS in SDN's southbound API. We study the performance of pure and hybrid PQ-TLS modes across different security levels and compare them with legacy TLS in terms of latency and CPU utilization. We also compare the performance of different post-quantum signature and key establishment schemes.
