TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	18ms	92ms	80
7d	100%	100%	19ms	147ms	3328
30d	94.54%	94.54%	19ms	147ms	4468

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	281ms	325ms	4

30d	98.94%	98.94%	286ms	575ms	188

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%	37ms	102ms	4
7d	100%	37ms	107ms	180
30d	100%	38ms	106ms	255

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