Methods, systems, and computer readable media for network analytics data director (NADD)-informed automatic configuration of maximum response times

One or more non-transitory computer readable media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that when executed by one or more processors of one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform steps comprising:

• receiving, at a network analytics data director (NADD) and from network functions (NFs), NF configuration details and copies of service-based interface (SBI) messages transmitted to and received by the NFs;
• determining, by the NADD and from the copies of the SBI messages, service operation processing times of the NFs;
• communicating, by the NADD and to an NF service consumer, NF analytics data including the service operation processing times and the NF configuration details;
• automatically determining, by the NF service consumer and using the NF analytics data, a 3gpp-Sbi-Max-Rsp-Time header value for an SBI request message;
• adding, by the NF service consumer, the 3gpp-Sbi-Max-Rsp-Time header value to the SBI request message;
• and
• transmitting, by the NF service consumer, the SBI request message to a destination.
