/Methods, Systems, And Computer Readable Media For Bootstrap Server Fleet Management With Intelligent Load Distribution
Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for bootstrap server fleet management with intelligent load distribution among NFs and data director sites are disclosed. One method includes providing a data director bootstrapping service for managing communications and load distribution between a plurality of NFs and a plurality of data director sites. The method further includes receiving, from each of the data director sites, messages containing load information and capacity information, and maintaining, based on the load information and the capacity information, a data director load balancing database. The method further includes receiving, from one of the NFs, a request message for connecting with one of the data director sites, utilizing the data director load balancing database to intelligently select a data director site to receive a message feed from the NF, and communicating, to the NF, the identity of the selected data director site.
