TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

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%	119ms	123ms	66
7d	100%	120ms	129ms	360
30d	97.60%	133ms	448ms	1996

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