Abstract

A method and a system for processing an NF component exception, where the method is applied to a network including user equipment, a first NF component, a second NF component, and an NF repository management function component. The method includes: receiving, by the NF repository management function component, an NF discovery request message that includes an identifier of a set to which the second NF component belongs; determining, by the NF repository management function component based on the identifier of the set to which the second NF component belongs, that a third NF component having a same function as the second NF component exists in the network; and sending, by the NF repository management function component to the first NF component, a first message that includes an identifier of the third NF component.
