About VNIX

1. Vietnam National Internet eXchange - VNIX

  • Vietnam National Internet eXchange (VNIX) is a system of transferring domestic Internet traffic between Internet service providers (ISPs)

  • VNIX was constructed, operated, and managed by VNNIC according to Document No. 1513/BBCVT-VT, dated 29.08.2003 of the Ministry of Post and Telematics (now, Ministry of Science and Technology)

  • VNIX has been working effectively in three regions of the country: the North (Hanoi City), the South (Ho Chi Minh City), and the Middle (Da Nang City).

  • VNIX has two types of connections: n x 1Gbps/port and n x 10Gbps/port.

2. Benefits of connecting VNIX

2.1 Cost savings for ISPs

  • Using direct connections to other ISPs increases the number of connections. To reduce the number of connections, users can connect directly to VNIX to connect to the others.

  • Domestic Internet traffic goes directly to other ISPs via VNIX (do not go through international).

2.2 The traffic of ISPs is transmitted smoothly

VNIX is deployed in 3 regions to ensure that the domestic Internet traffic between the ISPs is transferred smoothly.

2.3 Improving the quality of network services

Connecting VNIX reduces latency, increasing the efficiency of using the ISPs' connections.
