We will reset the multiplex in a DLCX message and then
we can reset the multiplex as well...even if the MGCP
connection is staying open. or at least this is a theory.
The MSC likes to leave a connection open during CallControl
when hanging up early enough in the process.
In case we have a stale SCCP connection with an Endpoint that
we want to reassign...use the newest (last) occurence of that
as it is most likely the one we want to handle.
Create the GSM network at the end of the init, send the
GSM reset on each reconnection and close a small window
when we would send a SCCP msg before being authenticated.
For that we have introduced an authenticated into the bsc_msc
struct and will manage it inside the bsc_msc_ip.c
Count number of SCCP connections, number of BSC reconnects,
number of calls. For most of them we have a per BSC and a
global count.
Right now all structs using the counters survive until the
end of the application so we do not need to free them.
It was possible that the nat detected the core network
gateway as the bts just due being the first to send data
to the port. Fix it by setting a dummy bts_ip to force
the mgcp_network code to compare the in_addr.
This method currently prepends the IPA header and sends
the data. In the future we might be able to use SCTP for
it.
We have to remove the IPA header from the static messages
for that to work.
This code is untested.
E.g. when the MGCP on the BSS is not responding we could block
all of our endpoints. As we are mostly in the middle and forward
bits we will happily reallocate the endpoints.
When not being able to allocate the msgb for the forwarded data
there is no point in keeping and preparing the transaction. So
we can move the msg creation a bit up and only do the allocations
after having done the msgb allocation.
When receiving a DLCX we will now delete the endpoint right away. This
means when a BSS does not respond to the DLCX our endpoint will not
be blocked. E.g. this could happen when the MGCP is restarting or
in similiar conditions. When the BSS is not responding we move the
burden up the chain to the CallAgent. We have to still keep track
of the transaction id and the bsc pointer to keep the mgcp forward
routine working.
Sending a RLSD with SCCP failure makes the MSC free all the resources
(MGCP, audio channels), right now we are ignoring the RLC we get from
the network and print a unhandled message.
This value is copied into the bts_audio_payload when allocating
a BTS MGCP endpoint. For the nat we have actually no interest in
patching MGCP messages. We will patch them to the network because
the code will do it anyway, we will not patch things back to the
BTS.
Remove the code to parse port as we need to discover the
BTS behind the nat and most likely it will have a different
port than the one advertised by the BTS.
This reverts commit c6a1fe773d.
