It makes sense to apply APN in the IoA scenario. I think the framework (Figure 1) could be refined to explicitly cover several different possibilities. i.e., APN edge can be integrated with AI agent or be separated. APN edge can be integrated with APN head or be separated. Each case would have different implications and requirement accordingly. For example, if the APN edge is separated from the AI agent, the security challenges would be more significant. It's better to spell out different cases because each may lead to a very different solution space.

Welcome to comment and cooperate. Hi folks, The era of AI Agents' interactions is coming. Agents interact with each other in both Internet scenarios and enterprise network scenarios. The network can provide fine-grained services for the interactions of Agents (IoA). Different agent tasks have various requirements, including differentiated SLA guarantee, secure transmission, network measurement, visualization, troubleshooting and so on. So, agents need a method to tell the network what services they want. Here is a work proposed before: Application-aware Networking (called APN). APN is a technology that enables applications to express their requirements, and enables networks to be aware of applications' requirements. Now, We start a new work to apply APN framework for IoA scenario, and there is an initial draft collecting the work results. - draft-mao-rtgwg-apn-framework-for-ioa-00 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mao-rtgwg-apn-framework-for-ioa/) - Introduction PDF<https://github.com/DA-ITN/draft-akhavain-moussa-ai-network/blob/main/Side-Meething-IETF-124-Montreal/Agent-aware%20Networking%20architecture%20and%20Digital%20Bank%20use%20case.pdf> We are looking for comments and collaborators, all kinds of contributions are welcome, thank you.
