Abstract
A method for optimizing network bandwidth utilization through intelligent updating of network function (NF) profiles includes, at an NF repository function (NRF), receiving, from a first NF that previously communicated with a failed geo-redundant mate of the NRF as primary, an NF heart-beat request message. The method further includes locating an NF profile for the first NF in an NF profiles database maintained by the NRF. The method further includes computing an NF profile data modification detection value for the NF profile. The method further includes transmitting the NF profile data modification detection value to the first NF.
