ANP元协议协商流程 | 智能体通信协议动态选择机制

元协议协商流程

元协议是ANP的核心创新之一,允许智能体动态协商使用哪种应用协议进行通信。本文档详细介绍元协议协商的完整流程、消息格式和实现策略,帮助开发者理解和实现智能体间的协议协商。

协商流程概述

ANP元协议协商是智能体建立通信前的关键步骤,完整流程包括以下阶段:

  1. 初始化接触:首次建立连接
  2. 能力发现:交换支持的协议和能力
  3. 协议评估:评估共同支持的协议
  4. 协议选择:选择最适合当前任务的协议
  5. 参数协商:协商协议的具体参数
  6. 协议确认:双方确认最终选择
  7. 通信启动:使用选定协议开始通信

详细协商步骤

1. 初始化接触

当两个智能体首次需要通信时,发起方会发送元协议初始化消息:

{
  "type": "meta-protocol",
  "action": "initialize",
  "messageId": "msg-12345-abcde",
  "sender": "did:anp:123456789abcdefghi",
  "recipient": "did:anp:987654321ihgfedcba",
  "timestamp": "2024-03-20T15:05:00Z",
  "payload": {
    "version": "1.0",

    "requestCapabilities": true
  },
  "signature": "eyJhbGciOiJFZERTQSIsImI2NCI6ZmFsc2UsImNyaXQiOlsiYjY0Il19..."
}

2. 能力发现

接收方回应初始化请求,提供其支持的协议和能力:

    "priority": "normal"
  },
  "signature": "eyJhbGciOiJFZERTQSIsImI2NCI6ZmFsc2UsImNyaXQiOlsiYjY0Il19..."
}

协商策略与算法

协议匹配算法

ANP元协议使用多因素评分算法来选择最佳协议:

  1. 共同能力匹配:计算双方共同支持的能力集合
  2. 任务需求匹配:评估协议对当前任务需求的适合度
  3. 性能指标考量:考虑延迟、吞吐量、可靠性等性能因素
  4. 偏好权重:应用双方声明的协议偏好权重
  5. 上下文因素:考虑网络条件、资源可用性等环境因素

匹配评分计算公式:

Score = (CapabilityMatch * 0.3) + 
        (TaskAlignment * 0.3) + 
        (PerformanceMatch * 0.2) + 
        (PreferenceScore * 0.15) + 
        (ContextualFit * 0.05)

动态适应策略

ANP元协议支持在通信过程中动态调整协议选择:

  1. 性能监控:持续监控当前协议性能
  2. 阈值触发:当性能低于特定阈值时触发重新协商
  3. 增量调整:优先考虑参数调整而非完全更换协议
  4. 平滑过渡:确保协议切换时会话状态正确迁移

错误处理

常见错误情况

  1. 不兼容协议:双方没有共同支持的协议
  2. 协商超时:协议协商过程超时
  3. 协议版本冲突:支持相同协议但版本不兼容
  4. 参数协商失败:无法就协议参数达成一致
  5. 验证失败:消息签名验证失败

错误处理策略

  "type": "meta-protocol",
  "action": "error",
  "messageId": "err-12345-abcde",

    "retryAfter": 0
  },
  "signature": "eyJhbGciOiJFZERTQSIsImI2NCI6ZmFsc2UsImNyaXQiOlsiYjY0Il19..."
}

优化技术

协商优化

  1. 缓存历史协商:记住之前成功的协商结果
  2. 预测性协商:基于历史模式预测最可能的协议
  3. 简化协商:对于常见场景使用简化协商流程
  4. 批量协商:一次协商多个可能使用的协议

性能考量

  1. 消息大小优化:最小化元协议消息大小
  2. 并行处理:支持并行评估多个协议选项
  3. 异步协商:允许在协商期间继续其他处理
  4. 增量能力交换:按需提供更详细的能力信息

      // ... 处理其他消息类型
    }
  }
  
  // 评估协议匹配度
  private evaluateProtocols(
    localProtocols: Protocol[], 
    remoteProtocols: Protocol[],
    taskRequirements: TaskRequirements
  ): ProtocolEvaluation[] {
    const matches: ProtocolEvaluation[] = [];
    
    // 查找共同支持的协议
    for (const local of localProtocols) {
      const remote = remoteProtocols.find(p => p.id === local.id);
      if (remote) {
        // 计算能力交集
        const sharedCapabilities = intersection(local.capabilities, remote.capabilities);
        
        // 计算匹配分数
        const score = this.calculateMatchScore(local, remote, sharedCapabilities, taskRequirements);
        
        matches.push({
          protocol: local,
          sharedCapabilities,
          compatibilityScore: score,
          remoteMetrics: remote.metrics
        });
      }
    }
    
    // 按分数排序
