Abstract: According to various embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein can utilize a blocking service to prevent malfunctioning NF instances from being discovered by consumer NF instances in discovery requests within a wireless network (e.g., a 5G network). The blocking service can be integrated into an NRF of the wireless network and can be used to add a malfunctioning NF instance to a block list. Additionally, the blocking service can prevent any malfunctioning NF instance on the block list from being returned to a consumer NF instance during a discovery request. When an NF producer instance is determined to be malfunctioning and subsequently added to the block list, the blocking service can trigger a notification to be sent to an NF consumer instance that is utilizing the affected NF producer instance. Upon receipt of this notification, the NF producer instance can cease its consumption of the malfunctioning producer NF instance.
