- BGP troubleshooting requires live network state, topological reasoning, temporal memory, policy awareness, and action safety, not just protocol knowledge.
- General-purpose LLMs lack operational intuition, context, and awareness of specific network topologies, policies, and real-time states, leading to confident but incorrect answers.
- To make AI useful for networking, integration with real gear, persistent memory of incidents, built-in topological reasoning, and supervised assistance are essential.
