The term “DNS latency” itself is somewhat ambiguous here. I see many timing metrics being used, such as “Query Speed” on https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-providers This seems closer to measuring overall internet connection performance rather than DNS behavior alone.
And “logarithmic percentile histogram” on https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-resolver-performance-november-2023/ This is more informative for describing latency, but it feels less relevant to typical user experiments. If you search for “Benchmarking Methodology for …”, you’ll find a bunch of RFCs covering devices, systems, and other components. So I wonder (and perhaps Cathy may also want to ask): why isn’t there a standardized benchmarking methodology specifically for DNS or service providers?
