Where Funds Go

All funds are fully directed to the development of open research:

  • 1
    Testbed equipment: bare-metal servers in 8+ Russian regions, 10G+ channels, routers with BBRv3 support
  • 2
    Open-source tools development: quic-test (6k+ tests/month), CloudBridge Relay, AI-routing
  • 3
    Research publications: quarterly technical reports, IEEE/ACM articles, conference presentations
  • 4
    University participation: student scholarships, lab materials, mentoring support
  • 5
    Interregional measurements: RU↔RU, RU↔EU tracing, jitter/latency/loss analysis
  • 6
    Infrastructure support: hosting, monitoring, SLO dashboards, federated observability

What Russia and the Community Will Gain

Development of domestic engineering school in next-generation networking technologies
Creation of open protocols and tools available to Russian developers
Practical improvement of connection quality: research results already applied for routing optimization
Independent research of QUIC/MASQUE/BBRv3 on real Russian infrastructure
Support of universities and young engineers through scholarships and mentoring
Knowledge base for specialists: all materials published in Russian and English
Protection from vendor lock-in: developing own competencies in critical protocols
Strengthening technological sovereignty through open and reproducible research
