name: RAF
full_form: Repository Access Function
context: architecture does not specify or limit the physical location of the GUP Server enabling flexibility in the implementations. The GUP Server shall be located in the home operator network of the targeted subscriber. The GUP Server may support two modes of operation: - Proxy Mode. - Redirect Mode. Repository Access Function (RAF): The Repository Access Function (RAF) realizes the harmonized access interface. It hides the implementation details of the data repositories from the GUP infrastructure. The RAF performs protocol and data transformation where needed. GUP Data Repositories: Each GUP Data Repository stores the primary master copy of one or several profile components. The RAF provides for the standardized access to the GUP Data Repository. The storage formats or the interface between the RAF and GUP Data Repository are not specified by GUP. Rg and Rp reference points: - Rg: This reference point shall allow applications to create, read, modify and delete any user profile data using
description: The Repository Access Function (RAF) is a network component that provides harmonized access to GUP Data Repositories. It hides the implementation details of the data repositories from the GUP infrastructure and performs protocol and data transformation where needed.
explanation: The context explicitly describes RAF as a function that realizes the harmonized access interface, providing standardized access to GUP Data Repository, which justifies its classification as a Network Function.
