Claim 13:
14. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a network function (NF) service producer from a network function (NF) service consumer, a 3GPP-service based interface (SBI) overload control information (OCI) header comprising overload control information, wherein the overload control information comprises a scope that is set to one of: at least one callback uniform resource identifier (URI), a network function (NF) service instance, a network function (NF) service set, a network function (NF) instance, a network function (NF) set, or a service name of a service; and
based on the scope of the overload control information, throttling notifications toward overloaded targets and/or redirecting notifications towards other targets,
wherein, when the scope is set to the at least one callback uniform resource identifier (URI), the overload control information (OCI) is configured to apply to all notification requests or callback requests with a callback uniform resource identifier (URI) matching the at least one callback uniform resource identifier (URI) that is set in the scope, and
wherein, when the scope is set to one of the network function (NF) service instance, the network function (NF) service set, the network function (NF) instance, the network function (NF) set, or the service name of the service, the overload control information (OCI) is configured to apply to notification requests or callback requests with a matching binding indication.
