1. A method for enabling forwarding of subsequent network function subscription updates, the method comprising:
forwarding, from a bootstrapped network function repository function (NRF) in a first region, a subscription creation request from a consumer network function to a target NRF in a second region;
creating, at the target NRF, a subscription for the consumer network function;
generating, at the target NRF, a hint comprising data indicating one or more alternate NRFs, each sharing subscription state data with the target NRF; and
sending, from the target NRF to the consumer network function, a subscription response message including the hint.
