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.
Bind a new port for the transcoder, forward data from the BTS
to the transcoder, and from the transcoder to the network. Leave
BTS-IN where it is, BTS-OUT can now be after the transcoding took
place. We send the data from the BTS RTP port.
This whole route will be guarded by the transcoder_ip and if it is
NULL (current default) it will not go through the transcoder.
Do not use the CI_UNUSED to decide if an endpoint is allocated
but introduce a new flag. This way only the CRCX and free_endp
play with the allocated field.
For debugging it is useful to forward (tee) UDP packets to another
system and use gstreamer to inspect the rtp stream. This is untested
code and might contain bugs.... and of course only tap your own calls.
Allow to switch to a dynamic port allocator and not reuse
the ports for a long time... This should help with a crazy
network sending two streams at the same time.
We plan to have two different ports for the network and for the
BTS to avoid detecting the BTS and to dynamically allocate the
port to have old data not go to a new socket.
This code compares the UDP sequence numbers of two RTP messages
and guesses if packets are missing. It is guessing in two ways:
1.) by default the sequence number is 0, so on the first
value we ignore the jump... we might ignore a real issue
in case of a wrap around which is easily possible as the
sequence should be a random number.
2.) the UDP stream might have been reordered on the network
and we would see the jump...
In any case these two shortcomings are acceptable for the feature
that is meant to provide some basic analysis..
This can be used by higher level code to send one dummy
message from the audio port to the network. This can be
used to make the remote discover the nated port of this
endpoint.
In separation of using the MGCP parsing in another context, refactor
the code to operate on a struct mgcp_config, split out the vty code
from the mgcp_protocol.c, and move the callbacks into the mgcp code.
There should be no functional changes.
