NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY (NF) AWARE SERVICE PROVISION BASED ON SERVICE COMMUNICATION PROXY (SCP)

There is provided a method for operating a first network node, which is performed by the first network node. The first network node is a first service communication proxy (SCP) node that is configured to operate as an SCP between a first network function (NF) node of a service consumer and a second NF node of a service producer in the network or the first network node is the second NF node. In response to receiving a first request transmitted towards the second NF node via the first SCP node, information indicative of a functionality supported by the first NF node is acquired. The first request is for the second NF node to provide a first service requested by the first NF node. The first network node operates based on the functionality supported by the first NF node.
