Feature Description

SMF performs indirect communication for network functions (NFs) through Model D. By default, SMF performs the NRF discovery to select the NF peer, such as PCF, CHF, and AMF. If the NRF discovery fails and if the local configuration is available for the peer, SMF selects the local configured peer.

Note

In a network, SMF supports 12 SCPs theoretically and up to 5 SCPs in the practical scenarios.
