Abstract
There is provided a method handling a service request. The method is performed by a first service communication proxy (SCP) node that is configured to operate as an SCP between a first network function (NF) node of a service consumer and a second NF node of a service producer. If a first request, for the second NF node to use a resource to provide a first service requested by the first NF node, cannot be fulfilled, transmission of a second request is initiated () towards a third NF node of the service producer. In response to receiving a response to the second request, transmission of a response to the first request is initiated () towards the first NF node. The response comprises information indicative of a location of the resource in the third NF node to be used when a second service is subsequently requested by the first NF node.
