TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	53ms	212ms	220
7d	100%	100%	55ms	683ms	1172
30d	100%	100%	61ms	1577ms	6592

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	316ms	333ms	88
7d	100%	99.79%	315ms	474ms	480
30d	80.70%	80.63%	344ms	4072ms	2684

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	98.86%	114ms	387ms	88
7d	98.71%	114ms	350ms	464
30d	98.01%	113ms	478ms	2614

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