Enabling end hosts to detect these middleboxes is not only beneficial but, in many cases, crucial. Existing detection approaches are typically ad hoc, designed to target a specific middlebox type. In contrast, we propose a generalized framework capable of detecting a broad range of middleboxes. To illustrate this concept, we use <i>transparent middleboxes</i> as an example—middleboxes that interfere with traffic without altering its contents, while maintaining the appearance of simple routing and forwarding. This transparency property makes end-to-end detection of such middleboxes particularly challenging. In this paper, we present a generalized framework for detecting transparent middleboxes. Using this framework, we detect three common types of middleboxes: network compression, traffic prioritization, and traffic shaping. Our results are validated through analysis, network simulations, and live Internet experiments involving real middleboxes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14154,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Network Management","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148099252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve these problems, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have attracted attention to enable automated network management, to enhance the quality of service (QoS), and to ensure the service level objectives (SLOs). However, there still remain significant limitations in automated network management within the paradigm of intent-based networking (IBN). In this paper, we propose intent-based network management methods using large language models (LLMs) for NFV environment. The proposed methods translate user's high-level intents expressed in natural language and generate the executable network and service management policies such as service function chaining (SFC), autoscaling, and network security. To improve domain understanding and generation accuracy, we apply domain adaptation techniques for LLMs including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and iterative feedback mechanisms. Evaluations conducted on a real Kubernetes cluster showed that the proposed methods significantly improve intent translation and policy generation performance and effectively fulfill user intents, compared with baseline approaches. These results indicate the feasibility of leveraging LLMs to enable practical end-to-end intent-based automation for cloud-native NFV management.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14154,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Network Management","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148099205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary problem is maintaining data traceability and security throughout the supply chain. In this paper, we explore the use of directed acyclic graph (DAG) technology to address these challenges in agricultural environments. We have implemented the corresponding software to test the following three DAG-based data storage and traceability scenarios: serverless, utilizing the interplanetary file system (IPFS), and a centralized server for data storage and transaction validation. Our results demonstrate that DAG and PoA ensure fast and secure transaction validation, crucial to maintaining trust and efficiency in the agricultural supply chain. We find that each scenario presents unique strengths and limitations, suggesting that a hybrid approach may offer the most robust solution for agricultural data management.</p>","PeriodicalId":14154,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Network Management","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/nem.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148094960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
