Abstract
The Internet of Agents (IoA) raises a question beyond IPv6 address space and end-to-end connectivity: should an IPv6 network be able to relate packet forwarding to agent capability, policy, and short-lived execution state? This informational document states the problem, sketches a framework for agent-aware IPv6 forwarding, and lists open questions for community discussion. It does not define packet formats, routing extensions, IANA allocations, or a new agent discovery protocol.
