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.

Standardized Measurement as the Foundation for AI in Networking
Artificial Intelligence in networking does not begin with neural networks or automation dashboards. It begins with measurement. Within the framework of the Internet Engineering Task Force and the Internet Research Task Force, the first principle is clear: before intelligence, there must be consistency. The IETF does not standardize AI models.
