TLD SLA Compliance Metrics
Spec 10DNS
| Period | Availability | RTT Compliance | RTT p50 | RTT p95 | Checks | TSLAC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24h | 100% | 100% | 66ms | 201ms | 56 | |
| 7d | 100% | 100% | 67ms | 402ms | 1360 | |

DNSSEC Validation Metrics
Registry Agreement Spec 6DNSSEC 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 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24h | 0.00% | 98ms | 98ms | 6 | |
| 7d | 0.00% | 99ms | 99ms | 220 | |
| 30d | 0.00% | 98ms | 98ms | 298 |
Unlike Spec 10 services, DNSSEC has no formal availability SLA. Thresholds shown are operational guidelines.

Per ICANN Spec 10, we test all delegated nameserver IPs independently.
