context: over SEAL-C reference points. The VAL server(s) communicate with the SEAL server(s) over the SEAL-S reference points. The SEAL server(s) may communicate with the underlying 3GPP network systems using the respective 3GPP interfaces specified by the 3GPP network system. 3) The functional model for interconnection between SEAL servers to support distributed SEAL server deployments, the SEAL server interacts with another SEAL server for the same SEAL service over SEAL-E reference point as shown in the figure below: 4) The functional model for inter-service communication between SEAL servers to support the SEAL server interaction with another SEAL server for inter-service communication over SEAL-X reference point is shown in the figure below: 5) The functional architecture of each SEAL service listed below and corresponding functional entities and reference points along with the procedures and information flows, northbound APIs to expose the SEAL services to the vertical applications in
description: The Service Enabler Architecture Layer for Verticals (SEAL) is a network function that enables service enablers to interact with the underlying 3GPP network systems and provides northbound APIs to expose SEAL services to vertical applications.
explanation: SEAL is classified as a Network Function because it facilitates communication between service enablers and the core 3GPP network, acting as an intermediary layer and providing APIs for external applications.
