TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	38ms	107ms	315
7d	100%	100%	38ms	110ms	1800
30d	99.92%	99.92%	40ms	359ms	9965

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	64ms	103ms	64
7d	100%	100%	69ms	131ms	360
30d	99.60%	99.40%	117ms	309ms	1984

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	66
7d	100%	56ms	57ms	360
30d	99.95%	59ms	70ms	1984

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

Per ICANN Spec 10, we test all delegated nameserver IPs independently.
