Large RAN installations may benefit from distributing the RTP voice stream load over multiple media gateways. libosmo-mgcp-client supports MGW pooling since version 1.8.0 (more than one year ago). OsmoBSC has already been making use of it since then (see osmo-bsc.git 8d22e6870637ed6d392a8a77aeaebc51b23a8a50); lets use this feature in osmo-msc too. This commit is also part of a series of patches cleaning up libosmo-mgcp-client and slowly getting rid of the old non-mgw-pooled VTY configuration, in order to keep only 1 way to configure libosmo-mgcp-client through VTY.

osmo-msc - Osmocom MSC Implementation
This repository contains a C-language implementation of a GSM Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) for 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS). It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.
OsmoMSC exposes
- A over IP towards BSCs (e.g. OsmoBSC): 3GPP AoIP or SCCPlite
- IuCS over IP towards RNCs / HNBGW (e.g. osmo-hnbgw)
- The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
- The Osmocom typical statsd exporter.
OsmoMSC implements
- mobility management
- call control (either via built-in MNCC handler or external osmo-sip-connector)
- USSD (exposed via GSUP)
- SMS (either via built-in SMSC or external via GSUP)

History
OsmoMSC originated from the OsmoNITB project, which started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OsmoNITB 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.
OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git.
