In 2022, LACNIC began to collaborate in the development of applied research, initially with research teams at five universities in the region working on topics with significant preliminary results. All these lines of research<\/a> are aligned with LACNIC’s mission, particularly the importance of developing technological capabilities and applied research for a stable and open Internet at the regional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization’s alliances with the University of Montevideo (Uruguay), the University of Palermo (Argentina), the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Studies (Mexico), the Federal University of Rio Grande (Brazil), and the University of Los Andes (Colombia), along with their managers and research teams, have made it possible to work on the development of knowledge and the dissemination of research with a focus on priority issues for LACNIC, as well as to find solutions to the challenges presented by the strengthening the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this LACNIC initiative is to promote, support, and disseminate research that has already achieved preliminary results, has potential for impact, and practical application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The projects we are currently supporting include Optimization and security of autonomous system routing in the Internet, by Cristina Mayr (School of Engineering, University of Montevideo, Uruguay); Palermo congestion control, application to different types of services and infrastructure, benchmarking vs. other advanced applications, promoted by Alejandro Popovsky (School of Engineering, University of Palermo, Argentina); Identification and mitigation of DDoS attacks in Software Defined Networks for IoT, by Jes\u00fas Arturo P\u00e9rez D\u00edaz (Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey, Mexico); Remote peering, by Pedro de Botelho Marcos (Center for Computer Sciences, Brazil); and IoT TEA related to network architecture for supporting the new QoS and cybersecurity requirements in IoT, by Enrique Donoso Meisel (School of Engineering).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our idea is to consolidate networks and actions with researchers, centers, groups, labs, and academic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our focus is on four topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
