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% 37ms 101ms 52
7d 100% 37ms 105ms 300
30d 99.94% 38ms 114ms 1660

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