Vietnamese international domain name (IDN .VN) reaches 1 million 
registration 
On 25th August 2014, at the office 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 reøected 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. 
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. 
VNNIC launches domain name management system in accordance with 
international EPP standard 
On 11th October 2014, VNNIC officially 
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 
signiöcantly 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. 
The National IPv6 Action Plan amended 
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. 
After 3 years of execution, the Action Plan has proved 
to signiöcantly 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 
traffic 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.

REPORT ON VIETNAM INTERNET RESOURCES 2014 
Table 2: Cummulative number of domains and growth rate over the years (2000 – 2014). 
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 signiöcantly 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).

REPORT ON VIETNAM INTERNET RESOURCES 2014 
Under the inøuence 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.

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 reøects

Figure 6: “.vn” Withdrawals (2012, 2013, 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:

Figure 7: “.vn” Withdrawals/New registrations, Withdrawals/Renewals (2010 - 2014) 
As it can be seen from the ögure 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. 
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 effort of VNNIC and registrars to compensate for the difficulties 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.

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 official launch in March 2007

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 örst ranking position of Vietnam with the largest number of IDN registrations, 
reøecting the interest and anticipation of the public, as well as the potential development of IDN.VN.

based on the statistics of international domain 
queries through domain name system servers 
managed by VNNIC (“.vn” DNS servers and DNS 
Cache).

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. 
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 reøected by the increasing number of addresses 
and VNNIC members all the time.

Figure 46: IPv4 address growth over year 
Since VNNIC was established and later became a NIR of Vietnam, the number of IPv4 addresses in 
Vietnam grew signiöcantly, 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.

VNNIC organized the conference "IPv6 Showcase" on Vietnam IPv6 Day 2014, 
including a training course on IPv6 programming named "Certiöed Network 
Programmer CNP6” 
VNNIC coordinated with Quang Trung Software City (QTSC) to organize the 
conference about IPv6 deployment of software production enterprises 
VNNIC organized the international conference on promoting and encouraging the 
deployment of IPv6 for SMEs among ASEAN region 
In 2004, the örst IPv6 block was allocated by APNIC to Vietnam. There was an explosive increase in the 
number of IPv6 addresses in 2008 after the Minister of Information and Telecommunications issued 
Directive No.03/2008/CT-BTTTT on IPv6 deployment and promotion in Vietnam on May 6th, 2008. 
Number of IPv6 addresses grew stably to reach 20 /32 blocks and 24 /48 blocks as of October, 2014. 
Almost all major ISPs in Vietnam were allocated IPv6 addresses. 
3.4 IPv6 penetration in Vietnam in 2014 
In order to measure IPv6 deployment and readiness, there are some basic data, including: IPv6 Preöx 
in BGP, IPv6 ASN in BGP… and one of the most important data is IPv6 users.

There were positive evidences of the IPv6 deployment in Vietnam via the data of IPv6 preöx 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 
| 77 
Table 44: “.vn” queries breakdown by extension 
Table 45: gTLD queries breakdown by extension 
Internet Exchange Point (IX) is a physical infrastructure 
through which independent networks exchange 
Internet traffic, 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 traffic, low international 
bandwidth and insufficient 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 conörmed 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 
VNIX supports routing activities and traffic 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 reøects their network's scale.

Consequently, “.vn” has still reached some achievements during the downturn of the economy. 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 450% 400% 350% 300% 250% 200% 150% 50% Year New registrations Growth rate Copyright by Vietnam Internet Network Information Center | www.vnnic.vn ASCII “.VN” COUNTRY CODE TOP LEVEL DOMAIN II 22 | Year 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Renewal 543 1,198 2,176 5,478 9,037 14,345 34,924 55,872 Growth rate 0% 221% 182% 252% 165% 159% 243% 160% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Oct 2014 75,715 99,185 127,364 180,332 232,749 266,028 136% 131% 128% 142% 129% 114% 109,4% 113% 291,103 2014 Forecast 300.569 Table 3: Growth of ccTLDs (Aug & Sep 2014) (Source: APTLD Member Statistics and Growth Report Aug & Sep 2014) No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ccTLD Growth (Aug 2014) Growth (Sep 2014) Country 1,3% -1,1% 0,3% - 5,4% -2,0% 0,2% 1,1% 0,6% -0,4% 2,2% -0,6% 0,8% 1,1% 4,0% 0,9% 0,4% 1,1% 1,7% 0,2% -0,3% -1,8% 0,3% 1,1% 0,8% -0,2% 1,3% -0,8% 1,5% 1,4% 0,3% 0,8% 0,3% .cn .nu .jp .kr .tw .nz .vn .hk .th .my .us .sg .kz .id .sa .qa China Niue Japan Korea Taiwan New Zealand Vietnam Hongkong Thailand Malaysia USA Singapore Kazakhstan Indonesia Saudi Arabia Qatar 2.2 “.vn” new registrations and growth rate Table 4: New registrations and growth rate (2000 – 2014) Oct/2014 120000 100000 80000 60000 20000 Year 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 New registrations 330 655 978 3302 3559 5308 20579 25680 Growth rate 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 32388 40576 47302 80246 97315 100,382 86,342 104,489 126% 125% 117% 170% 121% 103% 86% 104% 0 198% 149% 338% 108% 149% 388% 125% 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 0 0 40000 100% Growth rate New registrations 2014 Forcast “.vn” Domain name Growth rate Figure 3: New registrations and growth rate (2000 – 2014) Oct/2014 2014 Forecast By Oct 2014, the number of new registrations reached 86,342.

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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 10/2014 45% 38% 0.0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 2013 0.0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Figure 7: “.vn” Withdrawals/New registrations, Withdrawals/Renewals (2010 - 2014) As it can be seen from the ögure 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. 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 effort of VNNIC and registrars to compensate for the difficulties 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.

REPORT ON VIETNAM INTERNET RESOURCES 2014 Copyright by Vietnam Internet Network Information Center | www.vnnic.vn 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. 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 reøected by the increasing number of addresses and VNNIC members all the time. 1.

In the early 2000s, the Internet in Vietnam was limited, with high cost and low traffic, low international bandwidth and insufficient 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 conörmed 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.
