osmo-uecups - Osmocom UE simulation control/user plane separation
=================================================================
This repository contains a C-language implementation of a simulator for
the SGW/MME/UE side of GTP-U. It is part of the
[Osmocom](https://osmocom.org/) Open Source Mobile Communications
project.
This code is primarily intended to be used in testing of 2G/3G/4G GGSN and P-GW.
Every GTP tunnel (corresponding to a PDP context or EPC bearer) is terminated
in a local 'tun' device, which in turn is put into its own network namespace.
This means you can simulate any number of users / sessions / bearers on a single
machine without any routing nightmare.
The code only implements the user plane (GTP1U), and not the control plane like
GTP1C or GTP2C. osmo-uecups-daemon exposes a JSON-over-SCTP protocol calleD UECUPS,
which allows any external control plane instance to add/remove tunnels in the
daemon

Documentation
-------------
Please check the PGW test suite we have at
https://gitea.osmocom.org/ttcn3/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/src/branch/master/pgw
for a full example. This test suite implements the signaling plane of
simulating UE/MME/SGW towards a PGW (device under test). It uses
osmo-uecups to simulate the user plane and start commands like "ping"
within the netns of the simulated UE.
The interface between test suite and osmo-uecups is using
JSON-serialized commands via a SCTP socket on SCTP port 4268.
JSON Examples from the above PGW tests suite execution look like below. You can find a pcap file containing this example communication in contrib/osmo-uecups-example.pcap
### Initial reset of state:
Request to osmo-uecups:
```
{"reset_all_state":{}}
```
Response from osmo-uecups:
```
{"reset_all_state_res": {"result": "OK"}}
```
### Creating a GTP tunnel / UE with its own tun-device in its own netns
Request to osmo-uecups:
```
{
"create_tun" : {
"local_gtp_ep" : {
"Port" : 2152,
"addr_type" : "IPV4",
"ip" : "AC121B14"
},
"remote_gtp_ep" : {
"Port" : 2152,
"addr_type" : "IPV4",
"ip" : "AC121B07"
},
"rx_teid" : 2029948341,
"tun_dev_name" : "tun23",
"tun_netns_name" : "tun23",
"tx_teid" : 6,
"user_addr" : "0A2D0003",
"user_addr_type" : "IPV4"
}
}
```
Response from osmo-uecups:
```
{"create_tun_res": {"result": "OK"}}
```
### Running a test program (here "ping") inside that netns, just as if the command was executed on the UE
Request to osmo-uecups:
```
{
"start_program" : {
"command" : "ping -c 10 -i 1 -I 10.45.0.3 10.45.0.1 1>>/data/TC_createSession_ping4.prog.stdout 2>>/data/TC_createSession_ping4.prog.stderr",
"environment" : [],
"run_as_user" : "osmocom",
"tun_netns_name" : "tun23"
}
}
```
Initial Response from osmo-uecups (program was started):
```
{"start_program_res": {"pid": 12, "result": "OK"}}
```
Final response from osmo-uecups (program terminated):
```
{"program_term_ind": {"exit_code": 0, "pid": 12}}
```
