This paper deals with the requirements and a possible conception of a framework, which provides a platform and starting point for the development of mobile agents in peer-to-peer networks. Peer-to-Peer networks like Napster, Kazaa etc. have reached a widespread use in the Internet. The idea is to deploy mobile agents, who can travel between network nodes, to a large Peer-to-Peer network. Doing this one could use the peer-to-peer technology for all kind of services Re anonymizing network traffic, distributed storage of documents, for replicating contents of heavily accessed Internet sites, trading of information etc. For many of these things there are solutions available but by using a common framework there might be the opportunity to access all kinds of information through a common application programming interface which guarantees extensibility and widespread use. The described ideas as well as an example implementation are subject to further research and development.
