Abstract
A method for overriding a preferred locality attribute value using preferred location attribute values and traffic distribution attribute values to facilitate a desired traffic distribution among producer NFs includes receiving, from a query originator, an NF discovery request including a target NF type attribute value and a preferred locality attribute value. The method further includes selecting NF profiles that have an NF type attribute value that matches the target NF type attribute value and a locality attribute value that matches a preferred location attribute value mapped to the preferred locality attribute value. The method further includes modifying at least one attribute value in the NF profiles according to traffic distribution attribute values to achieve a predetermined distribution of SBI request message traffic among producer NFs by the query originator. The method further includes generating and sending an NF discovery response including the NF profiles.
