Neels Hofmeyr 39273525d7 mgcp-client: always send 'm=audio' line
Re-add the m=audio line to SDP emitted from libosmo-mgcp-client, even if
the audio port is not set yet

Patch a5acaa68db introduced a presence
flag for the RTP audio port number. This flag, when unset, also omitted
the 'm=audio...' line completely, dropping the PT number definitions.

Correct:

  m=audio 1234 RTP/AVP 96             <--- anounce 96
  a=rtpmap:96 VND.3GPP.IUFP/16000     <--- further specify 96
  a=fmtp:96 ...                       <--- further specify 96

When m=audio is missing, we only have orphaned rtpmap and fmtp entries.
They are supposed to further specify the 96 listed in 'RTP/AVP 96',
instead they are without context:

  a=rtpmap:96 VND.3GPP.IUFP/16000
  a=fmtp:96 ...

When the presence map indicates no port known, we still need to emit the
list of PT numbers; so we're forced to send a port of 0:

  m=audio 0 RTP/AVP 96
  a=rtpmap:96 VND.3GPP.IUFP/16000
  a=fmtp:96 ...

This is an important fix for osmo-hnbgw, which sends the first CRCX with
an IUFP codec. osmo-mgw requires this to accept incoming IuUP
Initializaition requests. When m=audio is missing, osmo-mgw does not
parse the IUFP codec, and 3G voice fails completely. This mgcp-client
patch will emit valid codec config also when port == 0, fixing
osmo-hnbgw voice, because osmo-mgw will know about IUFP from the start.

osmo-mgw - Osmocom MGW (Media GateWay) Implementation

This repository contains a C-language implementation of an MGW (Media GateWay) for use [not only] within the 2G (GSM) and/or 3G (UMTS) Cellular Network built using Osmocom CNI (Cellular Network Infrastructure) software.

The OsmoMGW program provides an MGCP interface towards an MGCP call agent (client) like OsmoMSC and OsmoBSC, and receives and sends RTP streams as configured via the MGCP control plane.

This Media Gateway implementation is capable of

  • streaming RTP for 2G (3GPP AoIP and Abis-over-IP)
  • streaming RTP for 3G (IuCS including the IuFP protocol)
  • TDM (E1/T1) based Abis interface with TRAU frames on 16k sub-slots
  • basic support for LCLS (Local Call, Local Switch) related features
  • various built-in translation capabilities
    • between Abis TRAU frames and RTP formats
    • between 2G AMR/RTP and 3G AMR/IuFP/RTP
    • between bandwidth-efficient and octet-aligned AMR
    • between different standards for encapsulating GSM HR codec frames in RTP

osmo-mgw is typically co-located with

  • osmo-bsc (GSM BSC)
  • osmo-msc (GSM/UMTS MSC)
  • osmo-hnbgw (UMTS HNBGW); osmo-mgw implements RTP relay between Iuh and IuCS interfaces

The libosmo-mgcp-client library exposes utilities used by e.g. OsmoMSC (found in osmo-msc.git) to instruct OsmoMGW via its MGCP service.

History

OsmoMGW 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.

OsmoMGW was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. It originated as a solution to merely navigate RTP streams through a NAT, but has since matured.
