TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	38ms	110ms	365
7d	100%	100%	37ms	108ms	2100
30d	99.92%	99.92%	40ms	299ms	11560

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	67ms	101ms	40
7d	100%	100%	71ms	121ms	240
30d	99.70%	99.25%	80ms	372ms	1332

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	100%	59ms	60ms	44
7d	100%	56ms	57ms	240
30d	99.92%	59ms	60ms	1328

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