Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for reporting a reserved load to a network function in a communications network are disclosed. One method includes determining, by a NF service producer, a current compute load metric value for the NF service producer operating in a communications network and detecting a number of active sessions supported at the NF service producer. The method further includes deriving a reserved compute load metric value corresponding to a predicted number of subsequent service requests at the NF service producer based on the number of active sessions and a predictive reserved load percentage value and calculating an adjusted reported compute load metric value amounting to a sum of the current compute load metric value and the reserved compute load metric value.
