TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	93ms	228ms	88
7d	100%	100%	93ms	232ms	480
30d	100%	100%	52ms	232ms	1624

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	421ms	478ms	24
7d	100%	99.17%	479ms	803ms	120
30d	99.75%	99.51%	439ms	727ms	408

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%	42ms	92ms	44
7d	100%	42ms	86ms	240
30d	100%	42ms	70ms	816

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