Method and network node for guided network service

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by at least one processor of at least one first network node within a communication network, at least one first key performance metrics (KPM) data type, from a plurality of KPM data types, the plurality of KPM data types including current KPM data, predicted KPM data and predicted guaranteed KPM data;
• transmitting, by the at least one processor, at least one first parameter to an application function, the at least one first parameter identifying the at least one first KPM data type;
• and
• controlling, by the at least one processor, an operation of the application function based on the at least one first parameter.

At least one first network node within a communication network, comprising:

• a memory storing computer readable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor operationally connected to the memory to access the computer readable instructions in order to
• obtain at least one first key performance metrics (KPM) data type, from a plurality of KPM data types, the plurality of KPM data types including current KPM data, predicted KPM data and predicted guaranteed KPM data;
• transmit at least one first parameter to an application function, the at least one first parameter identifying the at least one first KPM data type;
• and
• control an operation of the application function based on the at least one first parameter.
