Abstract

In this paper, we present the performance of a new inter-agent communication protocol that operates in the network layer. Its performance is compared with the performance of an inter-agent communication protocol that operates in the application layer. It improves the efficiency and reduces latency in finding a product match. The packets that are sent across the network using our protocol will be recognised by active routers, which will then be processed to identify different types of agents. Information of the merchant agents is stored in an active router that acts as an e-marketplace.
