A friend in the community was trying to connect an SMF made by another
manufacturer with an SBI interface and found a big problem with Open5GS.
All of the code in the part that generates the Resource URI
from HTTP.location is invalid.
For example, suppose we create a Resource URI with SMContext as below.
{apiRoot}/nsmf-pdusession/<apiVersion>/sm-contexts/{smContextRef}
In this case, Open5GS extracted the {smContextRef} part of the HTTP.location
and appended it to the beginning
{apiRoot}/nsmf-pdusession/<apiVersion>/sm-contexts/.
This implementation may not work properly if the apiRoot changes.
Consider a different port number as shown below.
<HTTP.location>
127.0.0.4:9999/nsmf-pdusession/v1/sm-contexts/1
The SMF may send an apiRoot to the AMF with a changed port number,
in which case the AMF must honor it.
Therefore, instead of extracting only the smContextRef from HTTP.location,
we modified it to use the whole thing to create a Resource URI.
We modified all NFs that use HTTP.location in the same way, not just SMFs.
The current load percentage of the NF Service Consumer is provided
in the payload body of the PATCH request when periodically
contacting the NRF (heart-beat).
AMF: ratio between currently connected ran_ue and maximum number of them
SMF: ratio between current PDU sessions and maximum available
PCF: ratio between current AM+SM policy associations and maximum available
or ratio between currently connected UEs and maximum number of them
(the load which is higher)
AUSF, UDM: ratio between currently connected UE and maximum number of them
BSF: ratio between current sessions and maximum available
NSSF: ratio between currently used NSIs and maximum number of them
NRF currently doesn't determine that the NF Profile has changed.
- Set the number of UEs in units of AMF/MME instead of gNB/eNB.
- See default value as shown below
Number of UEs per AMF/MME : 4,096
Number of gNB/eNB per AMF/MME : 32
