Summary:Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for determination of non-3GPP interworking function(s) (N3IWFs), which support slices targeted by a device or user equipment (UE), are provided. One method may include transmitting, by a UE or device, a request to at least one network node. The request may be to obtain information on network slices supported by at least one N3IWF. The method may also include receiving, from the at least one network node, a response comprising information for one or more N3IWFs and, based on the received information for the N3IWF(s), selecting one of the N3IWF(s) to use to connect to a 5G core network (5GC).
