TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks

7d	100%	100%	7.0ms	63ms	2148
30d	94.77%	94.77%	7.0ms	73ms	2841

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	93ms	107ms	16

30d	93.06%	100%	87ms	118ms	288

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%	33ms	33ms	10
7d	99.48%	33ms	89ms	192
30d	99.28%	34ms	109ms	276

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