.hermes SLA Compliance

TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	43ms	90ms	88
7d	100%	100%	60ms	170ms	480
30d	100%	100%	56ms	170ms	1620

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	94ms	180ms	20
7d	100%	100%	101ms	157ms	120
30d	100%	100%	102ms	158ms	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%	55ms	194ms	44
7d	100%	112ms	161ms	240
30d	99.75%	161ms	204ms	816

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