TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	73ms	213ms	208
7d	100%	100%	76ms	1548ms	1188
30d	99.80%	99.80%	77ms	1731ms	6596

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	309ms	356ms	88
7d	100%	100%	314ms	354ms	480
30d	99.81%	99.59%	357ms	681ms	2656

DNSSEC Validation Metrics

Registry Agreement Spec 6

DNSSEC is required by the Registry Agreement (Specification 6) but is not part of the Spec 10 SLA. We monitor DNSSEC validation independently.

Period	Validation Rate	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	96.59%	125ms	606ms	88
7d	98.33%	112ms	398ms	480
30d	97.84%	122ms	496ms	2636

Unlike Spec 10 services, DNSSEC has no formal availability SLA. Thresholds shown are operational guidelines.
