Architecting Autonomy: The Convergence of Agentic AI and Open Source Networking
By

February 23, 2026
This paper explores how agentic AI is reshaping network architecture—enabling both “AI for Networks” (automation, assurance, and self-healing) and “Networks for AI” (infrastructure optimized for distributed training, inference, and edge workloads). The paper outlines a high-level reference architecture for integrating AI agents with intent-based orchestration and network APIs, and proposes an Agentic AI Readiness Charter with practical principles for building deterministic, secure, and interoperable autonomy across open networking stacks.
