TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	69ms	123ms	396
7d	100%	100%	69ms	178ms	2118
30d	100%	100%	70ms	178ms	11880

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	94ms	122ms	72
7d	100%	100%	97ms	123ms	360
30d	100%	100%	97ms	128ms	2016

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%	140ms	155ms	76
7d	99.51%	140ms	272ms	408
30d	99.40%	151ms	260ms	2340

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.
