Do not directly send data from inside the mgcp_protocol.c
implementation. Instead allocate and return a struct msgb*. The
caller can then either wrap that into the IPA protcol or directly
send it over the UDP socket.
* Call a callback when the endpoint was created, modified or deleted. This
can be used by the BSC MUX to send a MGCP packet over TCP to the right
the BSC to allocate the endpoint there with the right data, or it can be
used in the BSC to send the right commands to the BTS.
* Separate main process and protocol handling into two parts.
* Change the protocol handling to work with UDP and TCP connection
* This will allow to speak MGCP over TCP between the BSC MUX and
the real BSC.
In plain forward mode we don't have DLCX which will clean
and reset the configuration. We will need to remember the
last GSM BTS port and send data to it.
* Do not only check the IP but also the port to figure out
where to send the data
* Do not memset the endp->remote inside the bind_rtp but from
inside the crcx as this will be modified by the MDCX
Rename the variables to refer to the fact that they are
the ports of the remote.
So we have:
rtp_port as the local address we are binding to
net_rtp for the network rtp
bsc_rtp for the bsc rtp
I want to reuse the SCCP code for header parsing in the BSC
NAT to identify data and patch the source local reference. To do
this the current handle_* methods will be changed into two parts
one is strictly parsing the other is handling the parsed data.
If the lchan has AMR as speech codec we also need to send the
multirate config IE in the channel activation. This is already
done for the RSL Channel Modify message.
the unix select function returns a set of file descriptors to be
handled. the result-loop (the loop after the select()) is called again,
if more than one descriptor is removed by the callback funtion. this may
lead to a another call to the callback function, because the bits of the
FD_SETs do not change and still set.
i think we must clear these bits, if they are handled, so the handler
will not be called twice in case of a "restart" of that loop.
The way the VTY configuration sytem works is that it first registers a
BTS of type GSM_BTS_TYPE_UNKNOWN and then sets the type correctly (after
encountering the type statement). This makes sure that registering a BTS
of type UNKNOWN succeeds.
In 39315c4798 we introduced
per-bts OML attribute parser definitions and disallowed
a BTS of type unknown.
However, the VTY code first allocates a BTS with unknown type.
With forward IP in the config and early bind on we will
simply forward RTP data on the endpoints from BTS to the
forward IP address.
This is implemented by disabling MGCP functionality when
a forward IP address was specified, setting the forward IP
in the endp->remote and assigning a ci != CI_UNUSED.
Early bind will make sure the sockets are created, the BSC FD's
are registered and then the normal dispatch code will
do the forwarding.
