Protocol POD Selection for Peer Initiated Messages
When the "smf-udp-proxy" POD receives the peer node (for instance UPF) initiated messages, it is load balanced across the smf-protocol instances to select any instance of the smf-protocol POD. An entry of this instance number is stored along with the source IP and source port number of the peer node. This ensures that the messages form the same source IP and source port are sent to the same instance that was selected earlier.
Note | This release does not support the landing of retransmitted messages (from the peer nodes) on the same instance of the smf-protocol where duplicate messages are detected. |
