The RETSINA
Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Communications Library allows agent applications
to interact with each other over connections that traverse
the popular Gnutella peer-to-peer (p2p) network. Utilizing
the same protocols and messaging constructs that Gnutella
file sharing applications use, agent applications can interact
with other agents, or Gnutella clients, anywhere in the world
across the Internet.
Automatic
processes in the library facilitate agent interactions by
dynamically discovering other groups of agents with similar
interests that are currently active on the Internet, and forming
interlinked communities of these agents. The asynchronous
managed-broadcast communications model of the Gnutella peer-to-peer
network allows multiple service providers to respond to agent
queries and requests. Encryption and filtering of messages
to require agent-only processing of the most appropriate messages
is also part of the library's core functionality.
