Claim 10:
11. A system for processing binding requests in a telecommunications network, the system comprising:
at least one processor and memory storing instructions for the at least one processor;
a binding support function (BSF) implemented by the at least one processor and configured for:
receiving a first request to create a first binding between a protocol data unit (PDU) session and a first policy and control function (PCF);
creating the first binding between the PDU session and the first PCF and storing, with the first binding, a first PCF session acceptance timestamp from a first header of the first request;
receiving a second request to create a second binding between the PDU session and a second PCF; and
determining whether to accept or reject the second request based on a difference between the first PCF session acceptance timestamp and a second PCF session acceptance timestamp from a second header of the second request.
