Trade-offs in Decentralized Agentic AI Discovery Across the Compute Continuum

ArXi:2605.11839v1 Announce Type: cross Agentic systems deployed across the compute continuum need discovery mechanisms that remain effective across cloud, edge, and intermittently connected domains. In some emerging agentic architectures, decentralized discovery is already an active design direction, placing DHT-based lookup on the path toward agent directories. This paper studies the trade-offs among major structured-overlay families for agent discovery, comparing Chord, Pastry, and Kademlia as candidate indexing substrates within a shared control-plane framework.
