Capabilities and Future Requirements of IPv6 for the Internet of Agents (IoA)
In the coming years, the accelerating proliferation of agentic AI is
anticipated to drive the number of intelligent agents to reach the
scale of hundreds of billions. IPv6, with vast address space, native
end-to-end connectivity and rich built-in functionalities, serves as
the critical infrastructure underpinning the development of the
Internet of Agents (IoA). This draft systematically analyzes the
foundational capabilities that IPv6 can provide for the IoA at the
current stage, and further explores the evolutionary requirements
that the IoA imposes on the future IPv6 development.
