TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

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% 31ms 31ms 8
7d 100% 30ms 31ms 118
30d 100% 30ms 31ms 160

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.
