.gs SLA Compliance

TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	8.0ms	1889ms	78
7d	100%	100%	16ms	241ms	450
30d	100%	100%	14ms	289ms	1518

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	277ms	715ms	40
7d	100%	100%	277ms	698ms	240
30d	98.02%	98.02%	377ms	996ms	808

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%	19ms	19ms	44
7d	100%	19ms	20ms	240
30d	100%	21ms	36ms	820

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