For the "bridging" to IPA mode we can force the SCTP/M3UA connection
down. This way the remote STP will do a proper link fail-over
procedure instead of the STP throwing data away.
This is not configurable yet.
For some equipment it is the easiest to patch the assignment
complete message transported to the MSC. Add a VTY config to
enable this patching, create a testcase that tests that the
original message is truncated. The setting of the VTY option
has been manually tested. The entire system has not been end
to end tested.
We need some way to forward the failure of one link to another but
they are not normally routed so we can not send a TFP. Right now we
will simply stop responding until both links are up. This should make
the SLTM fail and trigger a re-alignment on both sides. The key here
is that the 2 * SLTM timeout needs to be higher than it takes to re-align
the link. I'm not sure this code will work.
This new interface allows to have multiple linksets, msc
connections and ways to connect those in one instance of
the osmo-stp. Forbid to reset linksets without an app.
This is a interim solution until we have the new and all mighty
new config file format. This should work for now, makes the init
abit harder to understand though.
