This feature allows pinning each BTS to a specific MGW from the configured pool. The pinning can be soft or hard (strict). If strict pinning is not set, the configured MGW is selected with priority, but other MGWs can still be selected during each call setup if the preferred MGW is found not available at that time, hence avoiding denial of service for the entire BTS if that MGW goes down. If strict mode is selected, the call will be refused if the configured preferred MGW is not available at the time the call is set up. It is useful to use this feature when Osmux is configured between the BTS and the BSC and an MGW pool is in use. This way the BSC is capable of grouping all the calls of a BTS towards one MGW, hence taking advantage of the Osmux trunking optimizations to reduce link data usage (AMR payload of several concurrent calls ending up sharing the same underlaying UPD packet). Furthermore, this allows the operator to intelligently spread load over the MGW pool in order to avoid ending up with more than 256 concurrent Osmux circuits on any of the co-located MGWs in the pool (maximum supported at the moment).

osmo-bsc - Osmocom BSC Implementation
This repository contains a C-language implementation of a GSM Base Station Controller (BSC). IT is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.
OsmoBSC exposes
- A over IP towards an MSC (e.g. OsmoMSC): 3GPP AoIP or SCCPlite
- Abis interfaces towards various kinds of BTS (osmo-bts, sysmobts, nanoBTS, Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson)
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
- The Osmocom typical statsd exporter.
- Cell Broadcast Service Protocol (CBSP) towards a CBC (Cell Broadcast Centre, such as osmo-cbc).
- Lb interface towards a SMLC (Serving Mobile Location Centre, such as osmo-smlc).

History
OsmoBSC originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC had reached maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.
OsmoBSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. Before, it worked as a standalone osmo-bsc binary as well as a combination of libbsc and libmsc, i.e. the old OsmoNITB. Since the standalone OsmoMSC with a true A interface (and IuCS for 3G support) is available, OsmoBSC exists only as a separate standalone entity.
OsmoBSC-NAT is a specialized solution to navigating RTP streams through a NAT. (Todo: describe in more detail)
