TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	36ms	90ms	210
7d	100%	100%	50ms	176ms	1200
30d	100%	100%	45ms	176ms	4050

WHOIS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	120ms	123ms	20
7d	100%	100%	117ms	140ms	120
30d	100%	100%	116ms	125ms	408

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	176ms	44
7d	100%	121ms	166ms	240
30d	100%	141ms	159ms	812

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

ICANN SLA Requirements

Per ICANN Registry Agreement Specification 10:

DNS SLA UDP RTT ≤ 500ms for 95% of queries. Availability: 99% (max 432 min/month downtime).

WHOIS SLA RTT ≤ 4000ms for 95% of queries. Availability: 98% (max 864 min/month downtime).
