We might be offered multiple codecs by the remote and need to
switch between them once we receive data. Do this by moving it
to a struct so we can separate between proposed and current
codec. In SDP we can have multiple codecs but a global ptime.
The current code doesn't separate that clearly instead we write
it to the main codec.
The library allows to indicate zero as batch size if you want to use
the default size, however openbsc saves 'osmux batch-size 0' which is
not good as input.
Use OSMUX_BATCH_DEFAULT_MAX to explicitly initialize the batch size
from mgcp_parse_config().
Jacob pointed out that "free_endp" refers to the memory of
the endpoint being freed. What we want is actually a way to
release an endpoint (and the resource it allocated) or in
the case of the testcase/testapp initialize the data structure
correctly. Introduce two names for that.
The current transcoder implemenation always does a 1:1 recoding
concerning the duration of a packet. So RTP timestamps and sequence
numbers are not modified.
This is not sufficient in some cases, e.g. when the BTS does only
allow for a single fixed ptime.
This patch decouples encoding from decoding and moves the decoded
samples to the state structure so that samples can be combined or
drain according to the packaging of incoming and outgoing packets.
This patch incorporates parts of Holger's experimental fixes in
0e669e05^..9eba68f9.

This patch adds the voice muxer. You can use this to batch RTP
traffic to reduce bandwidth comsuption. Basically, osmux transforms
RTP flows to a compact batch format, that is later on decompacted
to its original form. Port UDP/1984 is used for the muxer traffic
between osmo-bsc_nat and osmo-bsc_mgcp (in the BSC side). This
feature depends on libosmo-netif, which contains the osmux core
support.
Osmux is requested on-demand via the MGCP CRCX/MDCX messages (using
the vendor-specific extension X-Osmux: on) coming from the BSC-NAT,
so you can selectively enable osmux per BSC from one the bsc-nat.cfg
file, so we have a centralized point to enable/disable osmux.
First thing you need to do is to accept requests to use Osmux,
this can be done from VTY interface of osmo-bsc_nat and
osmo-bsc_mgcp by adding the following line:
mgcp
...
osmux on
osmux batch-factor 4
This just initializes the osmux engine. You still have to specify
what BSC uses osmux from osmo-bsc_nat configuration file:
...
bsc 1
osmux on
bsc 2
...
bsc 3
osmux on
In this case, bsc 1 and 3 should use osmux if possible, bsc 2 does
not have osmux enabled.
Thus, you can selectively enable osmux depending on the BSC, and
we have a centralized point for configuration from the bsc-nat to
enable osmux on demand, as suggested by Holger.
At this moment, this patch contains heavy debug logging for each
RTP packet that can be removed later to save cycles.
The RTP ssrc/seqnum/timestamp is randomly allocated for each MDCX that
is received to configure an endpoint.
So far, a single dummy packet has been sent immediately after the
reception of a MDCX message. There is no dedicated keep alive
mechanism (it just worked because the audio from the MS has always
been forwarded to the NAT until the 'mgcp: Set output_enabled flags
based on the MGCP mode' patch).
This patch adds explicit, timer based keep alive handling that can be
enable per trunk. A VTY command 'rtp keep-alive' command is added for
configuration which can be used to set the interval in seconds, to
send a single packet after the reception of a CRCX/MDCX when RTP data
from the net is expected ('once'), or to disable the feature
completely ('no rtp keep-alive'). In 'send-recv' connections, only
the initial packet is sent if enabled (even when an interval has been
configured). The default is 'once'.
Note that this removes the mgcp_change_cb() from mgcp_main.c.

This patch make it possible to have a valid endpoint that drops all
outgoing RTP packets. The number of dropped packets is shown by the
VTY 'show mgcp' command. By default, this feature is disabled. To
enable packet dropping, the corresponding output_enabled field must
be set to 0.

Currently, all timestamps are force to SeqNo*d + C which is more than
required by the nanoBTS which seems to be sensitive to alignment
errors only (dTS != k*d, d = ptime * rate = 160).
This patch replaces the force_constant_timing feature by a
force_aligned_timing feature. The timestamp offset will only be
changed (and timestamp errors counted) when the alignment does not
match to the raster based on ptime (default 20ms).
The VTY interface does not change.

Currently the SDP 'ptime' media attribute is never set in generated
MGCP responses.
This patch optionally includes the 'ptime' attribute if
packet_duration_ms is != 0. This behaviour can be enabled/disabled
by using the VTY command "sdp audio-payload send-ptime" (enabled by
default).

This adds datastructures and a VTY frontend to configure the
different type of RTP header patching: SSRC and timestamp.
Note that timestamp patching is not yet implemented.

This patch modifies the patch_and_count() function to check for RTP
timestamp inconsistencies. It basically checks, whether dTS/dSeqNo
remains constant. If this fails, the corresponding counter is
incremented. There are four counter for this: Incoming and outgoing,
each for streams from the BTS and the net.
Note that this approach presumes, that the per RTP packet duration
(in samples) remains the same throughout the entire stream. Changing
the number of speech frames per channel and packet will be detected
as error.
In addition, the VTY command 'show mgcp' is extended by an optional
'stats' to show the counter values, too.

Remove ournode_exit_cmd, ournode_end_cmd, and bsc_install_default()
since this functionality is provided by the current libosmocore.
Replace calls to bsc_install_default() by call to
vty_install_default() with the following semantic patch:

Add bsc_install_default() and replace all install_default()
This patch adds bsc_install_default() which calls install_default()
and add 'exit' and 'end'. All other calls to install_default() are
replaced by calls to bsc_install_default().
Since 'exit' and 'end' are now added automatically to each node, the
explicit registrations of these commands are removed by this patch,
too.
The related tests succeed now without work-arounds (except for the
'config' node itself which is part of libosmocore).
Katerina pointed out that some nodes are not fully documented and
proposed some messages. The token/timeout messages were correct, I
have modified the other messages. I removed the full-stop from the
PING/PONG documentation as we are normally not using a full sentence.
The RFC 3435 specifies a different formula for calculating the lost
packages. It involves the number of received packages and the delta
of the sequence number.
Some nodes below 'config' didn't have ournode_exit / ournode_end,
and thus were not able to properly perform this function. exit should
always only go back one level, while end drops us back to ENABLE_NODE.
The prompt now represents the nesting level, and there's one consistent
space after the final prompt character (typically #).
The ip.access nanoBTS appears to send quite broken NTP timestamps in
the RTCP messages might confuse equipment that uses the sender report
of the BTS. Make it easy to experiment by adding an option to drop RTCP.
In this iteration I just want to make sure that each VTY command has
online help. Replace "a b" with "a-b" if there is no "a c" with b!=c.
This config should gain some more sanity and consistency, this will
happen in another iteration.
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]
