In osmo-bsc, there's currently 0..1 Lb links and 0..N A links, where N
is the number of MSC, but links can be shared in the underlaying stack
(struct osmo_sccp_instance), hence range 0..N of different
osmo_sccp_instance (identified by PC).
Even more, the Lb and A link can share the same underlaying stack, so
osmo-bsc can end up with only 1 struct osmo_sccp_instance shared by all
the above mentioned links in case all are configured under the same PC.
Total range A+Lb is 0..(1+N).
A struct gsm_subscriber_conn stores 2 struct sccp_instance*, one for
Lb (conn->lcs.lb.*)and one for A (conn->sccp.*).
They can actually point to the same sccp_instance or to different ones,
as explained above, depending on the configured setup. In any case, a
gsm_subscriber_conn needs 2 rb_nodes since it can hold
any of the 2 conn_ids independently (A or Lb).
The previous patch forgot to add that 2nd rb_node as well as some
initialization and release code for the Lb conn. This patch addresses
that.
When the 2nd rb_node, a problem when iterating the rbtree appears: how to
find out the "conn" pointer from the rb_node pointer, since the rb_node pointer
can be any of the 2 rb_nodes inside the struct at a different offsets.
In order to solve that problem, a new struct bscp_sccp_conn_node is
added, which holds all the relevant information used by the rbtree lookup code
in a generic way (rb_node and conn_id), plus a backpointer to the struct
bsc_gsm_subcriber it relates too.

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)
