TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	26ms	38ms	40
7d	100%	100%	26ms	257ms	1576
30d	95.32%	95.32%	24ms	257ms	2288

RDAP

24h	100%	100%	404ms	434ms	16

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%	53ms	55ms	12
7d	100%	52ms	55ms	132
30d	100%	49ms	51ms	190

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