TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	70ms	231ms	144
7d	100%	100%	68ms	286ms	2688
30d	95.39%	95.39%	70ms	286ms	3506

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	173ms	175ms	8

30d	100%	100%	171ms	177ms	312

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%	141ms	155ms	6
7d	99.50%	137ms	208ms	202
30d	99.65%	138ms	193ms	288

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