    abstract =  {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.},
