Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for routing messages for 4G and 5G sessions. In certain embodiments, a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) system may comprise one or more processors, and a memory having stored thereon instructions. The instructions, upon execution, may cause the one or more processors to receive a 4G communication session initiation request for a 4G session, and in response to the 4G communication session initiation request, issue a session binding request directed to a Binding Support Function (BSF), the session binding request directing the BSF to create a binding record linking the 4G session to the PCRF to enable routing of Application Function (AF) messages to the PCRF via the BSF. The instructions may further cause the one or more processors to receive an AF message routed to the PCRF based on the binding record.

Abstract: A method for HTTP stream tuning during load and overload control includes, at a first NF, determining a load/overload level of the first. The method further includes determining an initial value for an HTTP SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS parameter. The method further includes publishing the initial value of the HTTP SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS parameter to a second NF that sends traffic to the first NF. The method further includes determining that the load/overload level of the first NF has changed. The method further includes, in response to determining that the load/overload level has changed, adjusting the value of the HTTP SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS parameter based on the load/overload level and a direction of change in the load/overload level. The method further includes publishing the adjusted value of the HTTP SETTINGS_MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS parameter to the second NF.
