MOQ Transport for Agent Protocols
This document defines a protocol abstraction layer that enables Media
over QUIC Transport (MOQT) to serve as a unified transport substrate
for inter-agent communication protocols. The abstraction provides a
common mapping of request-response and streaming patterns onto MOQT's
publish/subscribe model, allowing diverse agent protocols to leverage
MOQT's real-time streaming capabilities, built-in prioritization, and
efficient multiplexing over QUIC.
The document demonstrates the application of this abstraction to two
prominent inter-agent protocols: the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol
[A2A], which focuses on agent discovery, task delegation, and
collaboration; and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) [MCP], which
provides tool and resource access for agents. This unified approach
enables interoperability across diverse agent ecosystems while
preserving each protocol's semantics.
