Network Repository Functions (NRF)

Overview

The NRF is a key component of the 5G Service Based Architecture. The NRF maintains an updated repository of all the Network Functions (NFs) available in the operator's network along with the services provided by each of the NFs in the 5G core that are expected to be instantiated, scaled and terminated with minimal to no manual intervention. In addition to serving as a repository of the services, the NRF also supports discovery mechanisms that allows NFs to discover each other and get updated status of the desired NFs.
