.hermes SLA Compliance

TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	71ms	127ms	200
7d	100%	100%	71ms	179ms	1064
30d	99.92%	99.92%	72ms	179ms	5936

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	95ms	124ms	60
7d	100%	100%	96ms	117ms	356
30d	100%	100%	97ms	136ms	2008

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%	141ms	154ms	88
7d	100%	141ms	157ms	476
30d	99.37%	143ms	272ms	2678

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