Crate brainwires_agent_network 

Brainwires Agent Network

Agent-to-agent networking layer for the Brainwires Agent Framework.

Provides IPC, remote bridge, mesh networking, routing, discovery, and pluggable transports for agent communication.

Protocol-Layer Stack

The networking layer is organized as a 5-layer protocol stack:

1. Identity — agent identity, capability advertisement, credentials
2. Transport — how bytes move (IPC, Remote, TCP, A2A, Pub/Sub)
3. Routing — where messages go (direct, topology, broadcast, content)
4. Discovery — how agents find each other (mDNS, registry, manual)
5. Application — user-facing API (NetworkManager, events)
