Summary: Independent and single-agent architecture is not capable of handling the real-time interactions of a large number of devices, and unable to deal with complex tasks. AI agent collaboration can address this limitation. However, AI agents from different organizations with different structures have made interactions among multiple agents increasingly complex. These agents often adopt distinct technical architectures, communication protocols, and data formats. We need enhanced network capabilities to achieve AI agent collaboration. From the network perspective, AI agent collaboration also brings more new requirements for networks. This new Supplement focuses on describing the standardization status and roadmap of networking for AI agent collaboration, collecting related Recommendations and Technical reports, and providing a roadmap to the possible standardization direction of networking for AI agent collaboration.
