摘要 Multi-agent large language model (LLM) loops, for example a Writer that drafts and a Critic that revises, are almost always terminated by a fixed iteration cap (max_iterations). This is a syntactic kill-switch: it is blind to whether the answer is still improving, so it over-spends tokens on easy inputs and truncates hard ones. We study semantic early-stopping: the loop halts when consecutive draft embeddings stop changing in meaning (cosine distance with a patience window) and the answer's measured quality stops improving. Our work makes three contributions. First, an honest theoretical footing: we prove deterministic termination and well-definedness and machine-check these claims, while treating the convergence of the distance sequence as an empirically tested conjecture rather than a (previously over-claimed) Banach contraction. Second, a judge-efficient evaluation protocol: we generate each question's full trajectory once, replay every stopping policy over the identical drafts, and cache every LLM-judge call, yielding a strictly paired efficiency-versus-quality comparison at low cost; we further separate operational tokens (charged to a policy) from evaluation tokens (a measurement instrument). Third, an empirical study on multi-hop retrieval-augmented question answering (HotpotQA). On the 60-question test split, a judge-free semantic stopper reduces operational tokens by 38% relative to max_iterations at parity quality (Delta-IS = -0.004, p = 0.81), whereas the full quality-gated variant is counter-productive because its per-round judging dominates cost. An oracle that selects the best round attains +0.115 Information Score over every practical policy (p ~ 4e-11), reframing the problem from "when to stop" (easy) to "which round is best" (open).

摘要 The growing complexity of computer networks, driven by cloud-native architectures, heterogeneous devices, and distributed systems, places increasing pressure on network administrators who must simultaneously manage configuration, troubleshooting, and security under tight operational constraints. Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a promising tool to assist and partially automate these tasks, yet their systematic evaluation in networking scenarios remains an open challenge. Existing benchmarks rely on static reference outputs or manual expert validation, neither of which scales to the diversity of real-world network states or to the variety of orchestration strategies -- from monolithic prompting to fully agentic pipelines --through which LLMs are increasingly deployed. In this paper, we present NetLLMeval, a framework for automatically evaluating LLM-based systems on network administration tasks by leveraging live network emulation to derive ground truth without human intervention. Through a full-factorial study of 24000 runs spanning 10 foundation models, 4 solver architectures, 10 task types, and 6 network topologies of increasing complexity, we show that solver design has a great impact on accuracy -- lifting a 14B open-weight model from 0.43 to 0.88 correctness -- and that such locally-deployable models can match trillion-parameter frontier systems under the right configuration. NetLLMeval is released open-source to support reproducible benchmarking of future models and solver designs.
