The present disclosure provides a method for generic edge
application server (EAS) bundling in a communication network. The method comprises: sending, from an edge enabling
server to an edge configuration
server, a first request, wherein the first request is an EAS
information acquisition request, wherein the first request comprises an EAS identifier and an application
group identifier, and wherein the first request comprises an indication of at least one of a bundled EAS identifier
list, a primary EAS identifier, or an EAS bundle identifier; determining, at the edge configuration
server, first EAS information comprising at least one EAS serving an application group targeted to at least one of the identifiers received in the first request; and sending, from the edge configuration server to the edge enabling server, an EAS
information acquisition response comprising an indication of the determined first EAS information. In some embodiments, the method further comprises: sending, from the edge enabling server to the edge configuration server, a second request, wherein the second request is a generic EAS
information storage request, wherein the second request comprises at least one of EDN information, an EES identifier, an EAS identifier, an EAS endpoint, and an application
group identifier, and wherein the second request comprises an indication of at least one of a bundled EAS identifier and endpoint
list, a primary EAS identifier, or an EAS bundle identifier; determining, at the
