2.2.4.1.1.  RDAP Availability. Refers to the ability of the RDAP-RDDS service for Registrar to respond to queries from an Internet user with appropriate data from the relevant registrar system. If 51% or more of the RDAP testing Probes see the RDAP-RDDS service as unavailable during a given time, the RDAP-RDDS service will be considered unavailable.

2.2.4.1.2.  RDAP-query RTT. Refers to the RTT of the sequence of packets from the start of an RDAP-RDDS testing probe's TCP connection to its end, including the reception of the HTTPS response for only one HTTPS request. If the RTT is 5 times or more the corresponding SLR/performance specifications, the RTT will be considered undefined.

2.2.4.1.3.  RDAP Update Time. Refers to the time measured from the receipt of an EPP confirmation to a transform command on a domain name, host or contact, up until at least 51% of the RDAP-RDDS testing Probes detect the changes made.

2.2.4.1.4.  RDAP test. Means one query sent to a particular IP address of one of the servers of the RDAP-RDDS service. Queries shall be about existing objects in the registrar system and the responses must contain the corresponding information otherwise the query will be considered unanswered. Queries with an RTT 5 times higher than the corresponding SLR will be considered as unanswered. The possible results to an RDAP test are: a number in milliseconds corresponding to the RDAP-query RTT or unanswered.

2.2.4.1.5.  Measuring RDAP parameters. Every 5 minutes, RDAP-RDDS probes will select one IP address from all the public-DNS registered "IP addresses" of the servers of the RDAP-RDDS service of Registrar being monitored and make an "RDAP test". If an RDAP test result is unanswered, the corresponding RDAP-RDDS service will be considered as unavailable from that Probe until it is time to make a new test.

2.2.4.1.6.  Collating the results from RDAP-RDDS Probes. The minimum number of verifiably working RDAP-RDDS testing Probes to consider a measurement valid is 10 at any given measurement period, otherwise the measurements will be discarded and will be considered "inconclusive"; during this situation no fault will be flagged against the SLRs.

2.2.4.1.7.  Placement of RDAP-RDDS Probes. ICANN will use commercially reasonable efforts to deploy probes for measuring RDAP parameters in data centers with carrier grade connectivity in each of the ICANN geographic regions.

2.2.4.2.            WHOIS-RDDS.  Until the WHOIS Services Sunset Date, Registrar shall comply with the provisions of this Subsection 2.2.4.2.

2.2.4.2.1.  WHOIS-RDDS availability. Refers to the ability of all the WHOIS-RDDS services for Registrar to respond to queries from an Internet user with appropriate data from the relevant registrar system. If 51% or more of the WHOIS-RDDS testing probes see any of the WHOIS-RDDS services as unavailable during a given time, the WHOIS-RDDS will be considered unavailable.

2.2.4.2.2WHOIS query RTT. Refers to the RTT of the sequence of packets from the start of the TCP connection to its end, including the reception of the WHOIS response. If the RTT is 5-times or more the corresponding SLR, the RTT will be considered undefined.

2.2.4.2.3Web-based-WHOIS query RTT. Refers to the RTT of the sequence of packets from the start of the TCP connection to its end, including the reception of the HTTP response for only one HTTP request. If Registrar implements a multiple-step process to get to the information, only the last step shall be measured. If the RTT is 5- times or more the corresponding SLR, the RTT will be considered undefined .

2.2.4.2.4.         WHOIS-RDDS query RTT.  Refers to the collective of “WHOIS query RTT” and “Web-based- WHOIS query RTT”.

2.2.4.2.5.         WHOIS-RDDS update time. Refers to the time measured from the receipt of an EPP confirmation to a transform command on a domain name, host or contact, up until the servers of the WHOIS-RDDS services reflect the changes made.

2.2.4.2.6.         WHOIS-RDDS test. Means one query sent to a particular “IP address” of one of the servers of one of the WHOIS-RDDS services. Queries shall be about existing objects in the registrar system and the responses must contain the corresponding information otherwise the query will be considered unanswered. Queries with an RTT 5 times higher than the corresponding SLR will be considered as unanswered. The possible results to an WHOIS-RDDS test are: a number in milliseconds corresponding to the RTT or unanswered.

2.2.4.2.7.         Measuring WHOIS-RDDS parameters. Every 5 minutes, WHOIS-RDDS probes will select one IP address from all the public-DNS registered “IP addresses” of the servers for each WHOIS-RDDS service of Registrar being monitored and make an “WHOIS-RDDS test” to each one. If an “WHOIS-RDDS test” result is unanswered, the corresponding WHOIS-RDDS service will be considered as unavailable from that probe until it is time to make a new test.

2.2.4.2.8Collating the results from WHOIS-RDDS probes. The minimum number of active testing probes to consider a measurement valid is 10 at any given measurement period, otherwise the measurements will be discarded and will be considered inconclusive; during this situation no fault will be flagged against the SLRs.

2.2.4.2.9Placement of WHOIS-RDDS probes. ICANN will use commercially reasonable efforts to deploy probes for measuring WHOIS-RDDS parameters in data centers with carrier grade connectivity in each of the ICANN geographic regions.
