AIORI Hackathon Series
AIORI-1
AIORI 1 (Advanced Internet Operations Research in India) is an initiative funded by NIXI focused on large-scale Internet standards education, resilient-driven research, and indigenous measurement networks. It aims to foster innovation through community engagement, connecting diverse technology stakeholders.
Overview
Mission
To cultivate leadership in internet technology, mitigate technological risks, and enhance the readiness of next-generation internet use cases in India.
Components
- AIORI-IMN: An Internet Measurement Network with edge devices deployed nationwide.
- Anycast Test Bed: Geographically dispersed nodes for researching and optimizing distributed edge services, such as DNS deployment.
Participants & Institutions
Engagement
The program spans across five geographic zones (North, South, East, West, and North-East) engaging hundreds of delegates.
Stakeholder Mix
Participants include researchers, academia (faculty and students), policymakers, network operators, and industry standards experts.
Institutions
AIORI frequently collaborates with premier academic institutions (e.g., IITs, regional universities) to host Anycast nodes and foster student-driven network projects.
Research Outputs
Visualizers
The project has spawned localized diagnostic and visual tools like DNSViz, IXPViz, RPKIViz, and IETFViz to track and benchmark routing infrastructure.
Publications
Research generated by the platform (e.g., the AIORI-IMN layered architecture) is published in reputable conferences and journals, highlighting standardized and indigenous measurement models.
Key Metrics
- Anchors/Nodes: Over 100+ edge measurement devices deployed across India, with extensive plans for expansion.
- User Engagement: Reaches 150+ institutions and thousands of student/faculty leaders.
- System Efficiency: Real-time metrics tracked include latency (<50ms local overhead), DNS resolution time, and packet loss.

AIORI-2
AIORI-2 (Advanced Internet Operations Research in India) is a national initiative aimed at accelerating Internet standards education, network measurement, and research. Backed by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) and led by the India Internet Foundation (IIFON), it bridges academia, industry, and global standard bodies like the IETF.
Overview
The initiative focuses on two core components:
- AIORI-IMN: An Internet Measurement Network measuring real-time metrics (e.g., latency, DNS, traceroutes) through localized nodes.
- Anycast Test Bed: Simulates real-world conditions across distributed edges to assess and optimize routing and DNS deployment.
Institutions
Reach
The initiative spans more than 150 educational and research institutions across India.
Role
Participating colleges and universities act as Measurement Anchors, hosting testbed hardware on campus for localized, real-time data collection.
Research Outputs
Technical Frameworks
Open-source contributions involving IP geolocation constraint-solving, LEO satellite telemetry simulations, and cross-platform container network benchmarking (e.g., CNI comparisons).
Hackathon Projects
Solutions utilizing telemetry and network analytics are published, such as RFC 8805-compliant geolocation data sets.
Key Metrics & Community Platforms
Scale
Engaging hundreds of faculties and thousands of students to build a future-ready Internet engineering talent pool.
The HNDB Portal
The program utilizes the HNDB Portal to showcase talent, facilitate collaboration, and connect students with internships and recruitment.Measurement Dashboards: Insights generated by the anchors are visualized on public tools like DNSViz and IXPViz available via AIORI Main
