 ### Workflow for minor patches

 ### Workflow for major patches
 
-We'll need to generate "traces" as signatures for every packet handler.
+For major patches, we cannot assume a 1:1 correspondence between vtables as before, since there
+are probably insertions in the new version that are scattered throughout the switch case.
+
+To solve this, we can run a sequence alignment algorithm to match the two vtables.
+
+But first, in order to generate a similarity matrix, we must first generate
+"traces" as signatures for every packet handler.  Then we can plug these traces
+into our language model to generate embeddings for each handler. Then, we can
+simply run cross cosine similarity to match these embeddings to generate our
+similarity matrix.
+
+Finally, we run the [Needleman-Wunsch algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needleman%E2%80%93Wunsch_algorithm)
+to generate a global sequence alignment of the two vtables.
