Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for limiting network function (NF) repository function (NRF) forwarding are disclosed. One example method for limiting NRF forwarding comprises: at a first NF comprising at least one processor: receiving a request message associated with a consumer NF; determining that the request message cannot be serviced by the first NF; inserting or modifying a forwarding limit value in the request message, wherein the forwarding limit value indicates a number of times that the request message can be forwarded; and forwarding the request message including the forwarding limit value toward a second NF.
