contents The evolution of both 5G and 6G networks is driving the advancement of fully autonomous network management, placing Intent-Based Networking at the centre of this transformation. This paper introduces a novel framework for 5G and 6G IBN orchestration that leverages a stateful, hierarchical multi-agent architecture to achieve full automation using both SLMs and LLMs. Both models have been evaluated for translation accuracy using metrics such as BLEU, METEOR, and ROUGE-L, as well as computational complexity. Experimental results show that both models exhibit similar accuracy. However, result shows that SLMs can improve the overall completion speed of the IBN lifecycle by 20%.
