TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	11ms	21ms	378
7d	100%	100%	7.0ms	29ms	2160
30d	100%	100%	5.0ms	80ms	11928

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	89ms	111ms	88
7d	100%	100%	91ms	110ms	480
30d	100%	99.96%	92ms	140ms	2648

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%	30ms	32ms	42
7d	100%	32ms	35ms	240
30d	99.85%	32ms	33ms	1322

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