The Missing Layer in Agentic AI: Networking Agents Across Clouds
Techstrong.ai, Tuesday, August 18th, 2026
Agent-to-agent communication needs a dedicated networking layer beyond MCP for identity and trust.
While MCP standardizes agent-to-tool communication, distributed agents need persistent identity, NAT traversal, explicit per-peer trust and encryption.
Traditional solutions such as VPNs, webhooks and tunnels each address only part of the requirement. Overlay networks designed for agents provide stable virtual addresses, encrypted peer transport and granular trust models.
That combination enables disposable, scalable agent infrastructure.
