TLD SLA Compliance Metrics
Spec 10DNS
| Period | Availability | RTT Compliance | RTT p50 | RTT p95 | Checks | TSLAC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24h | 100% | 100% | 29ms | 213ms | 20 | |
| 7d | 100% | 100% | 29ms | 424ms | 365 | |

DNSSEC Validation Metrics
Registry Agreement Spec 6DNSSEC 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 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24h | 100% | 19ms | 19ms | 14 | |
| 7d | 100% | 19ms | 19ms | 212 | |
| 30d | 100% | 19ms | 19ms | 297 |
Unlike Spec 10 services, DNSSEC has no formal availability SLA. Thresholds shown are operational guidelines.
