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.

In the ever-accelerating race for internet speed, the “last mile” of performance often hides in the DNS resolution process. During the AIORI-2 Hackathon, our team from Sharda University tackled this bottleneck head-on. We didn’t just build a resolver; we engineered a Hyperfast DNS Load Balancer that leverages the parallel processing

Static IP geolocation databases are becoming the dial-up modems of the modern web: outdated, inflexible, and often wrong. During the AIORI-2 Hackathon, Team GEOSTHIRA from the Vemana Institute of Technology set out to build a smarter alternative. We developed the GEOSTHIRA IP GEOLOCATOR, a supervised machine learning system that maps

Solution report blog — Code Crafters
While the digital locks protecting the Internet’s directory service (DNSSEC) are robust today, they are built on mathematical foundations that a future quantum computer could crumble in seconds. During the AIORI-2 Hackathon, our team—Code Crafters from GNIT, Kolkata—took a proactive leap into the future. We built a unified benchmarking framework
