TLD SLA Compliance Monitoring

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% 41ms 85ms 22
7d 100% 41ms 86ms 118
30d 99.75% 42ms 95ms 404

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