TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	32ms	49ms	200
7d	100%	100%	29ms	48ms	1060
30d	99.92%	99.92%	30ms	82ms	5816

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	410ms	461ms	44
7d	100%	100%	408ms	461ms	240
30d	99.85%	99.85%	411ms	499ms	1296

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%	65ms	82ms	44
7d	99.58%	59ms	122ms	236
30d	99.92%	58ms	87ms	1312

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