TLD SLA Compliance Metrics
Spec 10DNS
| Period | Availability | RTT Compliance | RTT p50 | RTT p95 | Checks | TSLAC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24h | 100% | 100% | 9.0ms | 24ms | 396 | |
| 7d | 99.57% | 99.57% | 8.0ms | 55ms | 2094 | |

DNSSEC Validation Metrics
Registry Agreement Spec 6DNSSEC 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 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24h | 100% | 35ms | 36ms | 88 | |
| 7d | 99.79% | 35ms | 77ms | 472 | |
| 30d | 99.96% | 35ms | 44ms | 2676 |
Unlike Spec 10 services, DNSSEC has no formal availability SLA. Thresholds shown are operational guidelines.
