Dear Pablo,

Can I ask when this set of patches are going to be merged? I would like to test it and if possible use it with OAI CN for LTE user plane traffic. The current implementation of GTP-U in OAI CN is somewhat buggy, so it would be nice to use this implementation instead of the one we have now. :-)

Thanks!

Csaba

Tárgy: [PATCH net-next] gtp: add initial driver for datapath of GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP-U)

This is an initial implementation of a netdev driver for GTP datapath
(GTP-U) v0 and v1, according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060
standards. This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from
accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure.

This implementation requires a GGSN userspace daemon that implements the
signaling protocol (GTP-C), such as OpenGGSN [1]. This userspace daemon
updates the PDP context database that represents active subscriber
sessions through a genetlink interface.

For more context on this tunneling protocol, you can check the slides
that were presented during the NetDev 1.1 [2].

Only IPv4 is supported at this time.
