Abstract
We define an agent to be any node in the network that is prepared to provide some services to other parties when requested. Such services may be required for various purposes and then, searching and establishing communication with the agent will be necessary. The agent search may be oriented along a particular direction to reduce network load and optimize overall performance. Such oriented algorithms already exist. In this paper we have given a communications protocol that may use such oriented algorithm, defined its request and response packet formats and shown the simulation results for overhead incurred in such communication.
