1. A method for error information propagation from a service communication proxy (SCP) to a consumer network function (NF) to support a circuit breaker design at the consumer NF, the method comprising:
receiving, at the SCP and from the consumer NF, a first service based interface (SBI) service request message;
attempting, by the SCP, to forward the first SBI service request to N producer NF instances, N being an integer of at least one;
detecting, by the SCP, an error involving the N producer NF instances;
performing, by the SCP, successful alternate routing of the first SBI service request message to an (N+1) th producer NF instance;
receiving, by the SCP, a success response message from the (N+1) th producer NF instance; and
propagating, by the SCP, with the success response message and to the consumer NF, error information regarding the N producer NF instances.
