In comparison with other ccTLDs in the region, .vn still kept a quite steady growth with an 1.1%
increase in both Aug and Sep 2014, while it can be seen from the below table that some other ccTLDs
witnessed a fall in the growth rate, or even negative development. Until Oct 2014, the overall growth
rate of .vn reached 9.4%, and was expected to reach 13% at the end of 2014. After the introduction of
new gTLDs into the market, the competition from those was signi cantly intense, with such a 139.8%
growth rate from May to Aug 2014, while ccTLDs only rose by 1,7% (Domain Name Stat Report CENTR, Sep 2014).

There was a slight increase in the number of .vn withdrawals in 2014, when the cumulative number
of domains registered in the system goes up. Therefore, the ratios between the new registrations,
withdrawals and renewals will be taken into consideration, in order to estimate the development
and persistence of the Vietnam ccTLD as follows:

On the other hand, the Withdrawals/Renewals ratio has not much changed over the period, reaching
43.7% in 2014, as a result of the eort of VNNIC and registrars to compensate for the diculties in
developing new registrations. Customer loyalty and steady growth are considered as two important
strengths of ccTLDs, in comparison with gTLDs. During recent years, .vn domain names have been
maintaining those two characteristics.
20000
2012
2013
As it can be seen from the gure above, during the period from 2010 to 2014, the peak development
of .vn domain occurred in 2011, with the lowest ratio of withdrawals/new registrations in 5 years. In
2013 and 2014, this ratio climbed to nearly 67%, which proved the saturation of the domain market.

IDN.VN development progress was associated with VNNIC research project on the application of
Vietnamese language in domain name system in order to promote the Vietnamese language on the
Internet. IDN.VN did not really attract users in its initial period. From the ocial launch in March 2007
to the end of December 2010, only 3,532 IDN.VN domain name was registered.
The free of charge registration period starting from Apr 28th 2011 marked a booming registration
period. Within 04 months from Apr 28th 2011 to Aug 2011, the number of registered IDN.VN domain
names reached 360,357 which doubled the amount of ASCII .vn ccTLDs registered in the previous 11
years. By Sep 2014, there were 1,015,701 IDN.VN registered in the system. According to the World
Report on Internationalised Domain Names 2014 published by EURid, this milestone of 1 million
IDN.VN marked the rst ranking position of Vietnam with the largest number of IDN registrations,
re ecting the interest and anticipation of the public, as well as the potential development of IDN.VN.

Table 41: Top 50 international domain names with domestic services (Web hosting, DNS hosting)
most queried in 2014
| 63
On July 31st, 2003, VNNIC was recognized by APNIC as the National Internet Registry (NIR) of Vietnam.
NIR, as a special member of APNIC, performes Internet number delegations and registrations in line
with APNIC policy, to serve its respective Internet communities in the country.
During its history, VNNIC has strengthened the NIR role with the functions of managing, allocating,
supervising and promoting the use of Internet numbers in Vietnam, and always served for the
interest of the community in Vietnam, which was re ected by the increasing number of addresses
and VNNIC members all the time.
Since VNNIC was established and later became a NIR of Vietnam, the number of IPv4 addresses in
Vietnam grew signi cantly, especially from 2006 to 2010. At the moment VNNIC took over the
management of Internet number from VNPT, number of IPv4 addresses was 16.896 addresses. Then,
the number of IPv4 addresses reached 1 million addresses in 2007, 10 million addresses in 2010 and
approximately 15.5 million addresses when APNIC announced its IPv4 exhaustion in 2011.
1.2 Vietnam's rank of the number of IPv4 addresses in the Asia Region and
in the world
By October 2014, the number of IPv4 addresses in Vietnam was 15.627.008. Vietnam continued to
rank the second in the ASEAN, the 8th in Asia and the 26th in the world in terms of IPv4 addresses.

In the early stages of the Internet in Vietnam, the Department General of Post and
Telecommunications (DGPT), the predecessor of Ministry of Information and Communications, was
the government authority in charge of the management and operation of Internet number
delegations and registrations in Vietnam. At that time, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications
Group (VNPT) was authorized by DGPT to apply the Internet resource request to APNIC and
redelegate to other Vietnamese ISPs. After VNNIC was established on April 28th, 2000, VNNIC took
over the function of managing Internet number resources and ASN in Vietnam.

The demand of Internet number resources increased signi cantly as the Internet expanded. There
were more and more organizations with independent networks. In 2014, on the same trend as the
previous years, ICT Enterprises members only accounted for 41% of the total number of VNNIC
members, but had about 98% of IPv4 addreses in Vietnam.

There were positive evidences of the IPv6 deployment in Vietnam via the data of IPv6 pre x and IPv6
ASN in BGP. However, there was not much change about the data of IPv6 users in Vietnam over the
years.
According to Google statistics, the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6 was
approximately 5%. However, for Vietnam, this percentage was unnoticable. According to APNIC Lab
statistics, the percentage of IPv6 penetration in Vietnam is about 0.07% during 10 months of 2014,
while Japan got (7%), Malaysia (5%), China (2%) and Thailand (0.5%) on October, 2014. Although
most Vietnamese ISPs were IPv6-ready in their core networks, IPv6 is not available at access network
level. It is important for Vietnam to deploy IPv6, especially promote IPv6 readiness for end users in the
future.

The .vn DNS includes 07 clusters (05 domestic and 02 oversea) with more than 70 sites all over the
world, supporting the latest technologies such as Anycast load balancing, IPv6.
.vn domain name queries from users all over the world can be served very fast through the nearest
DNS server in the system. VNNIC deployed a domestic IPv6 DNS cluster, together with 02 IPv6
oversea clusters, so that Internet users can query .vn safely, stably and fast on both IPv4 and IPv6
networks. Furthermore, 02 caching DNS server was implemented to support the Internet access and
quality of .vn and gTLD services.

VIETNAM NATIONAL
INTERNET EXCHANGE VNIX
Internet Exchange Point (IX) is a physical infrastructure
through which independent networks exchange
Internet trac, and plays a crucial role for the
development of Internet.
In the early 2000s, the Internet in Vietnam was limited,
with high cost and low trac, low international
bandwidth and insucient direct connections among
domestic ISPs. Vietnam National Internet Exchange
(VNIX) was established in Nov 2003 to develop,
enhance and improve the quality of Internet in
Vietnam.
Throughout the development, VNIX has been
contributing greatly to the growth of Internet in
Vietnam, by suppor ting domestic ISPs with
multilateral and bilateral connections, reducing cost
and operation fees for service providers.
On 15th July 2013, the Prime Minister promulgated
the Decree No. 72/2013/ND-CP on management,
provision and use of Internet services and Internet
information, in which VNIX was con rmed with
missions of supporting domestic ISPs in providing
Internet services; giving convenience for ISPs to
participate in interconnection agreements, especially
in multilateral agreements and connections to
international IXs.

4. Routing on VNIX
Tp.HCM
VNIX supports routing activities and trac exchanges among Internet service providers in Vietnam.
Other organizations with independent networks also can connect to VNIX. The number of /24 IPv4
blocks and /64 IPv6 blocks announced via VNIX of a member depends on their number of addresses
and customers. Therefore, number of /24 IPv4 blocks and /64 IPv6 blocks announced via VNIX of a
member partially re ects their network's scale.
Percentage of VNIX's members in number of IP advertised (/24 unit for IPv4, /64 unit for IPv6) is as
