Service Communication Proxy (SCP) Model-D for Peer Node Communication |
2025.01.0 |
SCP is the routing control point that mediates all signaling and control plane messages in the network core. SCP is responsible for optimizing routing of NF discovery requests to the Network Repository Function (NRF), load balancing, traffic prioritization, and message management. Command introduced: nf-selection-model nf_model_priority [ local | nrf-query | scp ] — Used for selection of NF model and its priority for NF peer communication. Default Setting: Disabled – Configuration Required |
SCP Model-D
Service Communication Proxy (SCP) Model-D is a communication model where the SCP handles discovery and selection of suitable NF instances on behalf of the consumer NF. This model simplifies the configuration for the consumer and enhances routing efficiency. SCP Model-D support enables the AMF to use an SCP for discovering and routing requests to the appropriate NF instances. The SCP performs discovery with an NRF and routes the request based on the discovery result.
