Pau Espin 7bde60f260 tbf: Implement enable_egprs() once 
There's no real need for having different copies of this method in each
children. Furthermore, having the method implemented in the base class
made me shoot my foot while trying to move this to the tbf constructor
(see next commit), so let's simplify this and avoid other people
following into the same issue.

enable_egprs() in tbf.h is moved to be public since it needed (as it was
for the duplicated children mehtods with same name), but anyway it will
be moved to private in next commit.

osmo-pcu - Osmocom Packet Control Unit

This repository contains a C/C++-language implementation of a GPRS Packet Control Unit, as specified by ETSI/3GPP. It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.

The Packet Control Unit is terminating the Layer 2 (RLC/MAC) of the GPRS radio interface and adapting it to the Gb Interface (BSSGP+NS Protocol) towards the SGSN.

The PCU interfaces with the physical layer of the radio interface. OsmoPCU is typically used co-located with the BTS, specifically OsmoBTS. For legacy BTSs that run proprietary sotware without an interface to OsmoPCU, you may also co-locate it with the BSC, specifically OsmoBSC

Homepage

The official homepage of the project is https://osmocom.org/projects/osmopcu/wiki/OsmoPCU

GIT Repository

You can clone from the official osmo-pcu.git repository using

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu.git

There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-pcu/

Documentation

We provide a user manual as well as a vty reference manual

Please note that a lot of the PCU configuration actually happens inside the BSC, which passes this configuration via A-bis OML to the BTS, which then in turn passes it via the PCU socket into OsmoPCU.
