Protecting drone nodes with agents Options

[Odsh]

I would like to use agents or IC to protect my drones from hacking attempts. If the agent and all the programs it's using are running on the drone's node however, it counts for the drone's processor limit and will likely reduce its response (especially if the drone is using some autosofts to act on its own).

What if I use one or more separate commlinks that are fully loaded with agents that "assist my persona" instead of "acting independently" and establish an AR connection from each of those commlinks to all my drones? Technically, I would have all of those agents in each drone's node, without affecting the drone's response. I would not control those AR connections, simply order all agents to permanently scan each drone's node for intruders and attack them. The only program loaded in those commlinks' personas would be Stealth, in order to hide the defenseless personas (since I'm not monitoring those connections at all) while my agents do the job. I don't even need to carry those commlinks with me, they could be hidden at different places around Seattle to confuse anybody trying to track my physical location. Finally, the agents could run at their full rating without the need to boost the drones' matrix attributes, which would save a lot of nuyen and at least compensate somewhat for the additional commlinks' and agents' costs.

Would that work?
