Gb implementation to be used from OsmoPCU, OsmoGbProxy as well as
OsmoSGSN.
The Gb Implementation supports two different dialects:
* `classic` dialect, which implements a non-standard dialect from the days
where Frame Relay was the default and no IP transport had yet been
specified by 3GPP.
* `ip-sns` dialect, which implements the 3GPP standard for NS-over-IP,
including the IP-SNS protocol.
In case of doubt, and assuming you are directly interfacing to a
modern 3rd party SGSN, use the `ip-sns` dialect.
Selection of the dialect is done using the `gb-dialect` VTY option at the `pcu` node.
