For delivering the NIDD service, the SMF-NEF connection needs to be established for a PDU Session for a UE. NEF provides the capabilities to create, update and release the SMF-NEF connection.

The SMF-NEF connection is used for transferring the NIDD data, therefore the performance of the SMF-NEF connection establishment impacts users’ experience about the NIDD service.
