Welcome to AIORI
Advanced Internet Operations Research in India
AIORI began as a grant-in-aid program under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), with Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) serving as the executing agency, and India Internet Foundation (IIFON) and Internet Society Kolkata Chapter as the implementing agencies. Now in its second phase, the program is supported by the National Internet Exchange of India (NiXi). The project has delivered the AIORI measurement and development platform for Internet Operations Research, consisting of two key components. The first component, AIORI-IMN, is an Internet Measurement Network. The second component, the Anycast Test Bed, aids in researching and building distributed edge services, with a current focus on DNS deployment models. These components work together to achieve our objectives. Research and Development

Solution report blog — Optimax
Implementing encrypted performance metrics in the Linux kernel is a high-stakes engineering feat. During the AIORI-2 Hackathon, team Optimax from Guru Nanak Institute of Technology successfully developed a working prototype for PDMv2 (draft-ietf-ippm-encrypted-pdmv2), bridging the gap between deep network diagnostics and modern privacy requirements. By moving from the plaintext metrics

Benchmarking a DNS resolver manually is like trying to time a professional sprinter with a handheld stopwatch—it’s prone to error, hard to repeat, and misses the subtle details. During the AIORI-2 Hackathon, team Secure Sphere from the Guru Nanak Institute of Technology changed the game by implementing draft-ietf-bmwg-network-tester-cfg. By using
Solution report blog — Ping@St.Joseph’s
In the modern Internet, DNS latency is the “hidden tax” on user experience. During the AIORI-2 Hackathon, team Ping@St.Joseph’s from St. Joseph’s Institute of Technology tackled this head-on by building the Hyperfast DNS Load Balancer. By leveraging eBPF/XDP—a revolutionary technology that allows packet processing directly in the Linux kernel—the team
