TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

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%	46ms	51ms	20
7d	93.33%	44ms	348ms	120
30d	98.21%	47ms	130ms	672

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