TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	130ms	227ms	7
7d	100%	100%	107ms	236ms	28
30d	23.53%	23.53%	84ms	236ms	54

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	No data available
7d	25.00%	49.11%	613ms	1400ms	112
30d	25.00%	48.75%	459ms	1759ms	160

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	50.00%	21ms	21ms	4
7d	50.00%	56ms	57ms	242
30d	50.00%	46ms	46ms	348

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