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 Status
24h 100% 38ms 102ms 56
7d 100% 37ms 102ms 292
30d 100% 38ms 102ms 1672

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