The idea that MCC and MNC is enough to classify a subscriber
turns out to be wrong. Certain operatos license a number range
of IMSIs to others. When we see a '^' in the MCC field we treat
it as a regexp. The code now turns the MCC/MNC into a regexp
for the IMSI. It is not using extended POSIX regexp to match
the behavior of the access list.
Introduce a paging group that a BSC can refer to and is used
during the LAC lookup. This way paging can be flooded through
the network and just filtered at the last element in the core.
The current code tries to find _one_ bsc for a paging message
and then continues. The new code will try to find multiple BSCs
for each LAC. This is done in preparation of having two BSCs
handle the same LAC. This code right now is O(m*n) but it will
be worse once paging groups are landed.
The code to test the function was reduced to just test the lac
lookup code as the other part can not be tested in a standalone
setup anymore.
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.
For restarting the NAT we can now block it, it will not accept
new connections and for existing connections it will attempt
to drop them over time. A blocked NAT will end up with no BSC
connections left and then can be safely restarted.
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]

Introduce a VTY setting that right now needs to be set to
one. To make updating this setting possible we will now store
the number of endpoints in the bsc connection as well.
Allocate the status for an endpoint dynamically. We will support
BSCs with different amount of multiplexes and need to have this
flexibility in the future. Add the proper null checks to the
current users of this code.
The reason for this is quite simple: We want to make sure anyone
running a customized version of OpenBSC to operate a network will
have to release all custom modifiations to the source code.
Send a RLSD down to the BSC in case the USSD Provider is gone. It
is not sending a Clear Command and ut depends if the BS+ will
like this kind of behavior. At least the data on the NAT will
be freed soon afterwards due the RLC message.
Extract the IMSI from the first message as well and safe it
in the connection structure. The problem is that we do not
have this structure at this point, so we will allocate the
imsi as child of the bsc_connection and then move/steal it.
Rename NAT_IPAC_PROTO_MGCP to IPAC_PROTO_MGCP and place it in
the enum. We need to be prepared to change this number if IPA
is ever going to use it for something else.
Make it possible that one BSC is serving multiple
cells. Introduce a list of lacs, add functions to
manipulate the lists. The current test cases for
paging by lac continue to work.
Return early in case the IMSI was already checked, if not we need
to look at the connection and check if the message could contain a
imsi we want/need to filter.
