.tel SLA Compliance

TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	10ms	18ms	176
7d	100%	100%	11ms	855ms	944
30d	100%	100%	25ms	1812ms	5288

RDAP

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	326ms	402ms	96

30d	80.95%	80.95%	380ms	4091ms	2688

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%	35ms	36ms	44
7d	100%	35ms	36ms	238
30d	99.85%	61ms	80ms	1342

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