Service Function Routing Sample Clauses
The Service Function Routing clause defines how data or service requests are directed through specific functions or components within a system or network. In practice, this clause outlines the sequence or path that information must follow, specifying which service functions are involved and in what order, such as routing a user's request through authentication, logging, and processing modules. Its core purpose is to ensure that service delivery follows a predetermined, efficient, and secure route, thereby maintaining system integrity and optimizing performance.
Service Function Routing. The Service Function Routing component provides a number of control plane as well as a data plane interface for the purpose of efficiently routing service requests of any SF endpoint to one or more others. The general capabilities of the interfaces are shown in Figure 8 and further elaborated in Table
Service Function Routing. The sub-components of the Service Function Routing component are shown in Figure 13, with a decomposition within a network deployment shown in Figure 14. The components are aligned with the emerging Service Framework of the enhanced Service-Based Architecture (eSBA) in 3GPP Release 16 [3GPP_SBA] with the Service Router sub-component mapping onto the Message Routing of the service framework and the Path Computation Entity sub-component mapping onto the Network Resolution Function (NRF) of the service framework. With this, we ensure an alignment of the SFR component with future cloud-native operator environments realized via the eSBA specifications.
