Unfortunately the basic structure of the response is broken.
There is a two byte length followed by data. The concept of
a 'tag' happens to be the first byte of the data.
This means we want to write strlen of the token, then we
want to write the NUL and then we need to account for the
tag in front.
Introduce a flag if the new or old format should be used.
This will allow to have new BSCs talk to old NATs without
an additional change. In the long run we can clean that up.
There was no context for the SCCP CREF message and this means
that the msc_con was a plain NULL pointer that was dereferenced
and the application would crash.
Use the new API to pass the incoming MSC Connection which sould
be used for the SCCP CREF message as context. The code has not
been fed with an actual SCCP CR message.
We need to use different LAC/CI towards the core network.
It is a bit problematic as LAC/CI is a per BTS attribute
so this feature only works if a BSC manages everything in
the same LAC.

Some switches do not like to receive the IPA PING/PONG messages.
Allow to disable the handling with "no timeout-ping" and create
test cases that verify the switching between the modes. Change the
code to trat <= 0 as an invalid timeout.
Fixes: SYS#713
We want to reduce the background traffic and might set the ping
interval to be in the range of minutes. But this means that if
the TCP connection is frozen several "SCCP CR CM Service Requests"
will be stuck in the send queue without ever being answered. I
could have used the logic of not receiving the "SCCP CC" to close
the connection but instead I am introducing an overload to schedule
the ping as part of the normal SCCP connection establishment.
The VTY write case has been manually verified, I have also looked
at a single trace to see that the SCCP CR and the IPA PING is
transfered in the same ethernet frame.
Now that the bulk of the control interface node lookup has
no reference to the BSC specific data structures, we are
moving it into libosmocore.
A control interface user now only registers an optional small
node lookup function like bsc_ctrl_node_lookup()
The code in the BSC/NAT called ipaccess_rcvmsg_base without
checking if the protocol is IPA. This lead the BSC to respond
to SCCP messages with an "ID ACK". From a quick look neither
the code of ipaccess_rcvmsg_base in OpenBSC nor the copy of
libosmo-abis ever checked the protocol header. So this code
has been wrong since initially being created in 2010.
The old ipa_msg_recv() implementation didn't support partial receive,
so IPA connections got disconnected when this happened.
This patch adds the handling of the temporary message buffers and uses
ipa_msg_recv_buffered().
It has been successfully tested by jerlbeck with osmo-nitb and
osmo-bsc.

For GPRS the look-up via bts/trx does not make any sense and would
introduce bad depdencies for the SGSN. Move the look-up code to a
new file and introduce new setup methods.
Handle the mr_config request and set the AMR multirate config for
the given MSC. Initialize the mr_config with the AMR5.9 default we
have been using until now.
We want to have multiple MSCs but we also have some data
that is only present on a per BSC basis. Right now the
MSC data is not allocated with talloc, so we have some
change in the talloc contexts.
This is a big patch that ports openBSC over libosmo-abis.
Sorry, the changes that are included here are all dependent
of libosmo-abis, splitting them into smaller pieces would
leave the repository in some intermediate state, which is
not desired.
The main changes are:
- The directory libabis/ has been removed as it now lives in
libosmo-abis.
- new configuration file format for nanoBTS and HSL femto, we
need to define the virtual e1_line and attach it to the OML
link.
- all the existing BTS drivers (nanoBTS, hsl femto, Nokia site,
BS11 and rbs2000) now use the new libosmo-abis framework.
- use r232 input driver available in libosmo-abis for bs11_config.
- use ipa_msg_recv instead of old ipaccess_read_msg function.
- delete definition of gsm_e1_subslot and input_signal_data.
These structures now lives in libosmo-abis.
Most of this patch are deletions of libabis/ which has been
moved to libosmo-abis.
This patch also modifies openBSC to use all the new definitions
available in libosmocore and libosmo-abis. In order to do that,
we have replaced the following:
- DINP, DMI, DMIB and DMUX by their respective DL* correspondences.
- SS_GLOBAL by SS_L_GLOBAL
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN by S_L_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN
- SS_INPUT by SS_L_INPUT
- S_INP_* by S_L_INP_* sub-signals
- E1INP_NODE by L_E1INP_NODE vty node
This patch has been tested with:
- one nanoBTS
- the HSL femto with the examples available under libosmo-abis
- BS11 with both dahdi and misdn drivers.
Be able to configure a list of destinations (duplicates allowed)
that will be tried in a round robin fashion. The change is in
the bsc_msc_connection to operate on a list. We achieve the
round robin nature with the same trick used in the paging code
to delete and append the current entry. The nat code was updated
to compile but one can only configure one destination.
libosmogsm is a new library that is distributed in the libosmocore.
Now, openbsc depends on it. This patch gets openbsc with this
change.
This patch also rewrites all include path to the new
osmocom/[gsm|core]

The new structure divides the code into a number of libraries
for the BSC core functionality, MSC core functionality, Abis transport,
TRAU and other bits.
This doesn't introduce any functional code change but simply moves
around files and alters Makefile.am accordingly.
Next step would be to disentangle a lot of the inter-library
dependencies and make the individual bits of code more independent.
