.fail SLA Compliance

TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	51ms	196ms	192
7d	100%	100%	48ms	188ms	1080
30d	100%	100%	70ms	188ms	3648

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	107ms	142ms	24
7d	98.33%	98.33%	96ms	444ms	120
30d	99.50%	99.50%	99ms	223ms	404

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%	52ms	173ms	22
7d	100%	71ms	167ms	120
30d	100%	128ms	161ms	406

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.
