HI all Experts.

If Policy Control Function (PCF) is down will it affect both 5G SA and NSA? Or just SA?

Policy Control Function (PCF) controls that the user data traffic does not exceed the negotiated bearer(s) capacities.

It depends what PCF is being used for.

PCF may or may not impact the network.

PCF can be bypassed easily, I don’t think it will affect SA access.

Just QoS and rate limitations at option 2.

NSA most probably 3x so only PCRF.
