TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	29ms	47ms	156
7d	100%	100%	28ms	46ms	864
30d	100%	100%	28ms	60ms	5104

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	406ms	461ms	40

30d	100%	100%	412ms	464ms	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%	57ms	62ms	44
7d	100%	52ms	57ms	240
30d	100%	53ms	64ms	1326

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