Abstract
A method for actively obtaining producer network function (NF) reachability status information by an NF repository function (NRF) in response to an NF heart-beat failure includes detecting, by an NRF, an NF heart-beat failure associated with a producer NF. The method further includes querying, by the NRF and via a producer NF reachability status application programming interface (API) provided by an SCP, the SCP to determine reachability status of the producer NF. The method further includes receiving, by the NRF and from the SCP, a producer NF reachability status API response message including an indication that the producer NF is reachable. The method further includes maintaining, by the NRF and in response to receiving the indication that the producer NF is reachable, a REGISTERED status for the producer NF.
