With the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language model (LLM) technologies, AI agents are gradually becoming the core service units in networks, and their communication mode is evolving from local collaboration to wide-area interconnection. The construction of the Internet of Agents (IoA) faces multiple challenges, such as identity management, dynamic networking, and semantic routing, which urgently requires the design of a network protocol system that adapts to its new traffic characteristics and collaboration needs. Based on the application scenarios of agent communication, this paper systematically analyzes the management, control, and routing requirements that multi-agent collaboration imposes on IP networks, proposes a three-layer functional architecture for the IoA, and designs a protocol suite covering management, control, and routing around key issues such as agent registration and identification, service discovery, capability sensing, and cross-domain traffic assurance. By extending existing Internet protocols and introducing a semantically aware routing mechanism, this paper provides a scalable, efficient, and secure approach to implementing a protocol for end-to-end agent collaboration, thereby contributing to the construction of an open, large-scale agent collaboration ecosystem.

To meet the demands of high-speed communication under strong electromagnetic interference, an all-light network (ALN) based on a multi-band optical communication system is proposed. It is designed for cross-scenario interconnection and networking, covering air, space, land, and sea. The ALN integrates four types of optical links: underwater blue light communication, white light illumination communication, solar-blind deep ultraviolet communication, and long-distance laser communication systems. These links are interconnected via Ethernet switches with the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Any ALN node supports both wired and wireless device access. The data transmission performance between network nodes was tested, with a maximum transmission delay of 73.3 ms, a maximum packet loss rate of 6.1%, and a maximum jitter of 15 ms. This comprehensive all-light network with all-scenario coverage lays the foundation for the future development of network technologies and the digital economy.

Monolithically Integrating a 180° Bent Waveguide into a III-Nitride Optoelectronic On-Chip System
ZHANG Hao, YE Ziqi, YUAN Jialei, LIU Pengzhan, WANG Yongjin

GaN-based devices have developed significantly in recent years due to their promising applications and research potential. A major goal is to monolithically integrate various GaN-based components onto a single chip to create future optoelectronic systems with low power consumption. This miniaturized integration not only enhances multifunctional performance but also reduces material, processing, and packaging costs. In this study, we present an optoelectronic on-chip system fabricated using a top-down approach on a III-nitride-on-silicon wafer. The system includes a near-ultraviolet light source, a monitor, a 180° bent waveguide, an electro-absorption modulator, and a receiver, all integrated without the need for regrowth or post-growth doping. 35 Mbit/s optical data communication is demonstrated through light propagation within the system, confirming its potential for compact GaN-based optoelectronic solutions.
