The Prime Minister signed Decision No. 38/2014/QD-TTg to promulgate the


regulation on the auction and transfer of the right to use in telecommunication
number storage and Internet domain names
T h e D e c i s i o n N o. 3 8 / 2 0 1 4 / Q D T Tg
promulgating the auction and transfer the
right to use in telecommunication number
storage and Internet domain names took
eect from 1st September 2014.
By allowing the auction and transfer of the
right to use in telecommunication number
storage and Internet domain name, this
Decision was considered to be a
breakthrough for the market of .vn domain
names, forcing the development of .vn
registration.

REPORT ON VIETNAM INTERNET RESOURCES 2014

VNNIC launches domain name management system in accordance with


international EPP standard
On 11th October 2014, VNNIC ocially
re p l a ce d t h e c u r re n t d o m a i n n a m e
management system (DMS) with the Shared
Registry System (SRS), using EPP (Extensible
Provisioning Protocol). The transition to the
new management system with advanced
technologies will improve the management
capacity and promote .vn domain name in
both domestic and oversea markets. This
new system helps VNNIC and .vn registrars,
both domestic and foreign, to minimize
manual management operations and
signi cantly shortens the time to process requirements from registrants. This new system is really
important as enhancing the competitiveness of the .vn domain name and promoting the .vn
domain name in the future.

Besides allowing the auction and trade of .vn domain name, this Decision also prohibits the trade of
protected domains, including the names of the Party and Government authorities, political and
social organizations, and other domains related to the bene ts, security of national sovereignty;
domain names in violation of regulations, under dispute settlement process or suspension.

The National IPv6 Action Plan amended

Vietnamese international domain name (IDN .VN) reaches 1 million


registration

On 20th October 2014, the Minister of Information and


Communications signed Decision No. 1509/QD-BTTTT
on amending Decision No. 433/QD-BTTTT on 29th
March 2011 providing the National IPv6 Action Plan.

On 25th August 2014, at the oce of the Ministry


of Information and Communications 18 Nguyen
Du, Hanoi, Vietnam Internet Network Information
Center (VNNIC) organized the event Celebration
of the 1 million Vietnamese international domain
names. This milestone brought Vietnam to
become the country with the largest number of
IDNs, which re ected the potential development
of Vietnamese international domain name in the
market, as well as preserving national cultural
identity, a new stage of development of the
Internet of Vietnam.

After 3 years of execution, the Action Plan has proved


to signi cantly improve the public awareness of IPv6
deployment in Vietnam, with major achievements by
Vietnamese Internet service providers (ISPs). However,
there are still several drawbacks including the low IPv6
trac and lack of IPv6 commercial services. To
overcome this situation, the Vietnam IPv6 Task Force
(VNIPv6TF) recognized the need to review and admend the national action plans on IPv6, by adding
tasks and contents for new participants of the IPv6 plan such as online newspaper, information
portals, social networks, .vn domain registrars, international domain name registrars in Vietnam,
software companies, and network equipment providers.

1 million Vietnamese IDN milestone also marked the integration of Vietnam into the global Internet,
together with preserving Vietnamese culture and content in the Internet.

2.2 .vn new registrations and growth rate


Under the in uence of the global economic crisis, since 2013, the growth rate of .vn new
registration has been lower than before. In 2014, the development of .vn witnessed both of the
hardship of economy and the competition of the new gTLDs. Under the circumstance, VNNIC and the
Registrars continued the promotional activities for .vn ccTLD, such as the series of conference with
the theme of Protecting Vietnamese trademark and brandname with .vn ccTLD, strengthening the
relationship with customers, and improving the service quality for customers. Consequently, .vn
has still reached some achievements during the downturn of the economy.

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).

2.3 Quantity and ratio of new registrations/renewals/withdrawals


The statistics of .vn new registrations, withdrawals and renewals in the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014
showed that there was a steady rise in the number of new registrations and renewals, which re ects
the sustainable development and customer loyalty of the .vn domain.

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:

Figure 4: .vn New registrations (2012, 2013, 2014)

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.

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.

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.

REPORT ON VIETNAM INTERNET RESOURCES 2014

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.

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.

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 April, 2013, VNIX cooperated with ISPs to connected and exchanged IPv6 trac through VNIX.
From that time on, the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack started to be applied on Vietnam's Internet, after
major ISPs were ready for the services and equipment on IPv6 basis.

3.2 Connection bandwidth


VNIX connection bandwidth increased over the years and reached the highest number of 27,240
Gbps on October 30th 2014.

3.5 Connection bandwidth via port:

There were dierences between the volume of download and upload trac of VNIX members. The
Outbound trac illustrated data download, while the Inbound trac illustrated.Members with most
trac were ISPs with content services and high volume of customer.

Since 2008, VNIX has been supporting high-speed Internet


connectivity line (10Bbps). ISPs also started to adopt this high
connection technology in order to meet the demand for VNIX
trac. Currently, number of high speed connection ( 10Gbps
ports) was higher than that of low speed one (1Gbps ports).

4. Routing on VNIX

Tp.HCM

Figure 67: VNIX connection ports

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.

4.2 IP Pre x advertised via VNIX


The minimum IP block for VNIX members to be announced via VNIX was /24 for IPv4 and /64 for IPv6.
Based on routing policy of each member, members may advertise bigger blocks (pre x). Total
number of IP pre x advertised via VNIX of a member partially re ects their network's scale.
