Agent Communication Gateway for Semantic Routing and Working Memory

groupnone stateactive pages13 rev01 expires2026-09-05 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-agent-gw/
This document presents an architectural framework for an Agent Communication Gateway (Agent-GW), designed to support large-scale, heterogeneous, and dynamic multi-agent collaboration across administrative and protocol boundaries. As agents evolve from isolated entities to a collaborative digital workforce, the infrastructure must transition from rigid, endpoint- based connectivity to intent-based interaction. This draft proposes Agent-GW as an infrastructure hub that provides native primitives for Semantic Routing (dispatching tasks by intent and capability), Working Memory (shared structured context across multi-step workflows), automated protocol adaptation (normalizing heterogeneous interfaces into a unified agent-facing protocol), oracle-free agent evaluation, and collaborative inference acceleration via a Knowledge Delivery Network (KDN).
