TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	138ms	242ms	660

WHOIS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	50.00%	50.00%	554ms	10006ms	80
7d	50.00%	50.00%	613ms	10006ms	464

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%	188ms	209ms	44
7d	100%	188ms	201ms	236
30d	99.70%	188ms	210ms	1330

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