[Xiong'an, July 28, 2026] The Intelligent Internet Sub-Forum of the 5th China IPv6 Innovation and Development Conference was successfully held in Xiong'an New Area. The sub-forum was hosted by the Expert Committee for Promoting Large-Scale IPv6 Deployment and Application, co-organized by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, and supported by the Network Innovation and Development Alliance (NIDA).

At the Intelligent Internet Sub-Forum, Deng Yi'ou, Secretary-General of NIDA, presented the details of the Agent Networking Infrastructure (ANI) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) project, and a launching ceremony for the ANI MSA Preparatory Committee was held. Industry and academic representatives jointly stepped onto the stage to initiate the project, including Cao Jiguang, Deputy Director of the Institute of Technology and Standards at CAICT; Liu Peng, Technical Manager at the Infrastructure Network Technology Research Institute of China Mobile Research Institute; Tang Jing, Director of the Future Network Research Center at China Telecom Research Institute; Cao Chang, Director of the Next Generation Internet Research Center at China Unicom Research Institute; Professor Xu Mingwei from Tsinghua University; and Zhang Yusheng, Deputy Director of the Protocol R&D Department of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line.

The Agent Networking Infrastructure (ANI) MSA aims to build an open, global technical community to construct open, trustworthy, and high-performance agent networking infrastructure for operators and vertical industry application scenarios. Its core vision is to design an open, efficient, and scalable agent networking infrastructure architecture tailored to industry needs, maximize compatibility with mainstream application-layer technology ecosystems, and build an open reference implementation, thereby accelerating scenario and protocol consensus for multi-agent networking and promoting its deployment across diverse industries.

As AI agents become the core interconnected entities of the Internet, building an agent networking infrastructure tailored for the intelligent era has become an urgent priority. The establishment of the ANI MSA Preparatory Committee represents a powerful effort to address this call of the era—promoting the implementation of multi-agent network communications across various industries through an open industrial collaboration platform, and marking a solid step forward for China in driving the deep integration of IPv6 and artificial intelligence to construct agent networking infrastructure.

NIDA will continue to join hands with partners across the industry to jointly advance technical innovation and ecosystem building for agent networking infrastructure, injecting new momentum into the construction of a cyber power and a Digital China.
