Abstract
A method for using an optimized token bucket algorithm for ingress message rate limiting across distributed producer network function (NF) applications includes implementing a producer NF instance as distributed producer NF applications and implementing distributed ingress gateways (IGWs) for performing ingress message rate limiting for the distributed producer NF applications. The method further includes maintaining, for each of the distributed IGWs, a local token bucket for rate limiting of ingress service-based interface (SBI) request messages received by each of the distributed IGWs and maintaining a distributed token bucket for refilling the local token buckets. The method further includes receiving ingress SBI request messages at the distributed IGWs and consuming, by the distributed IGWs, tokens from the local token buckets to allow processing of the ingress SBI request messages by the distributed producer NF applications and refilling the local token buckets with tokens from the distributed token bucket when numbers of tokens in the local token bucket fall below a threshold level.
