Abstract

Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for binding support function (BSF) capacity expansion. In some examples, a method may comprise operating a binding support function (BSF) of a mobile network, including determining whether an internet protocol (IP) address of a received message corresponds to a local IP address range, and when the IP address of the received message does not correspond to the local IP address range, accessing a first network function (NF) profile at a network repository function (NRF) to determine a second BSF corresponding to the IP address, and forwarding the received message to the second BSF.
