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%	35ms	263ms	78
7d	99.76%	35ms	110ms	412
30d	99.91%	35ms	54ms	2340

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