1 Introduction

This document provides information about how to configure the services and manageable objects in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Binding Support Function (BSF) Management Service using Representational State Transfer Application Program Interfaces (REST APIs).

1.1 Overview

BSF provides a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session binding functionality, which ensures that an Application Function (AF) request for a certain PDU Session reaches the relevant Policy Control Function (PCF) holding the PDU Session information. This Network Function (NF):

  • Allows Policy Control Function users to register, update, and remove the binding information

  • Allows NF consumers to retrieve the binding information

    Note:

    The performance and capacity of the BSF system may vary based on the call model, Feature/Interface configuration, and underlying CNE and hardware environment.
