Vadim Yanitskiy 974cc7b324 gprs_bssgp_pcu: fix: do not crash on receipt of subsequent INFO.ind
It's expected to receive subsequent INFO.ind messages at run-time,
e.g. when a dynamic TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH timeslot is switched from
PDCH to TCH/F or TCH/H, osmo-bts would send us INFO.ind with the
updated PDCH slot-mask indicating that this timeslot is disabled.

In gprs_nsvc_create_and_connect(), do not bind() on the received
NSVC address unconditionally - we may already be bound to it.
Instead, return early and keep everything unchanged.

I don't know how the PCU is supposed to handle NSVC address change,
at least the new NS2 library does not handle this internally, nor
it provides any API for that.  Let's leave it for later.

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.
