1 Introduction

This document provides information about troubleshooting Oracle Communications Network Exposure Function (NEF).

1.1 Overview

NEF is an important component of the 5G Service Based Architecture. NEF provides a platform to securely expose the network services and capabilities offered by the 5G Network Functions (NFs) to either external third-party applications or the internal Application Functions (AFs). As an interface between 5G core network and different application functions, NEF enables the operators to customize their network and provide innovative services to the end users.

Note:

The performance and capacity of the NEF system may vary based on the call model, feature or interface configuration, and underlying CNE and hardware environment.

1.2 Audience

The intended audiences for this document are the network administrators and the professionals responsible for NEF deployment and maintenance.
