TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks

7d	100%	100%	63ms	155ms	2400

WHOIS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	50.00%	100%	208ms	390ms	60
7d	50.00%	100%	208ms	253ms	360
30d	50.00%	100%	208ms	268ms	1952

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%	124ms	129ms	44
7d	100%	122ms	124ms	240
30d	99.92%	122ms	132ms	1310

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