TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	69ms	127ms	462
7d	100%	100%	69ms	171ms	2454
30d	100%	100%	70ms	175ms	14004

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	95ms	115ms	64
7d	100%	100%	98ms	149ms	360
30d	100%	100%	98ms	141ms	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	88
7d	100%	141ms	157ms	468
30d	99.33%	142ms	272ms	2672

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