This can be used to throw the data into GNUplot. It collects
the time (from the start of the trace), the buffer data in kbyte
and the number of buffered PDUs. It is assuming that no PDU
is delivered toward the target.
This patch adds several messages that would be displayed if:
* the Ki argument is missing.
* you pass an invalid Ki.
* the database fails to perform the operation (add/delete/update).
Before this patch, no messages were spotted on this errors.
I noticed this while adding Ki to the existing subscribers in the
nanoBTS setup: I introduced a wrong Ki but the VTY command line did
not report any error. A quick look at the database via sqlite
command confirmed that the new authkey information was not added.
Introduce a paging group that a BSC can refer to and is used
during the LAC lookup. This way paging can be flooded through
the network and just filtered at the last element in the core.
The current code tries to find _one_ bsc for a paging message
and then continues. The new code will try to find multiple BSCs
for each LAC. This is done in preparation of having two BSCs
handle the same LAC. This code right now is O(m*n) but it will
be worse once paging groups are landed.
The code to test the function was reduced to just test the lac
lookup code as the other part can not be tested in a standalone
setup anymore.
The code to create the struct gsm_bts is in libcommon right now
and we can not call paging_init from there. Right now it appears
to be the easiest of doing the init internally.
Be able to configure a list of destinations (duplicates allowed)
that will be tried in a round robin fashion. The change is in
the bsc_msc_connection to operate on a list. We achieve the
round robin nature with the same trick used in the paging code
to delete and append the current entry. The nat code was updated
to compile but one can only configure one destination.
For restarting the NAT we can now block it, it will not accept
new connections and for existing connections it will attempt
to drop them over time. A blocked NAT will end up with no BSC
connections left and then can be safely restarted.
In case this is a local USSD connection we will ignore
the clear command and respond with a RLC to any RLSD but
will never forward that to the BSC. This way the external
USSD is fully in charge of the connection.
There are theoretical issues if there are multiple transactions
on the same SCCP Connection but this can not be solved properly
right now.
Keep track of the used transaction identifier and always forward
messages to the USSD provider. E.g. this can be used to have a
dialogue going. Right now it is still possible that the MSC will
close down the connection.
We need to and out the protocol discriminator as call control
might have use transactions. This has only failed for the USSD
filter so far as this must deal with transactions.
With this patch, ipaccess-proxy makes more robust option checking:
$ ./ipaccess-proxy -l 1.1.1.1 -b 2.2.2.2 -e
ERROR: missing mandatory argument for `-e' option
And we return to shell to enforce the user to try again with the
appropriate invocation.
Before this patch, the default getopt_long() error handling was
enabled which displayed this message:
./ipaccess-proxy: option requires an argument -- 'e'
and ipaccess-proxy continued working.
This is generic enough to cover other option that require mandatory
arguments like `--bsc' and `--listen'.
Now ipaccess_idtag_parse() returns -EINVAL instead of -1. We also
check for the return value of this function in every invocation to
skip further processing in case of messages with malformed TLVs.
This idea was suggested by Zecke.
When we have no other MNCC connection but the registeration of the
new fd is failing we should not disable reading from the listen_fd
for ever as the situation might not be permanent.
