TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks

7d	100%	100%	31ms	138ms	1920
30d	99.92%	99.92%	31ms	895ms	10640

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	288ms	398ms	80
7d	99.77%	99.77%	292ms	408ms	440

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%	47ms	103ms	52
7d	100%	37ms	104ms	300
30d	100%	38ms	108ms	1652

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