Hello Johannes,

FYI, there already was a discussion about GSMTAPv3:

but unfortunately, nobody has invested time into this (yet?).

This gives us a possibility to "demux" multiple GSMTAP streams on the
receiving side, e.g. if you are running multiple processes.

> 2) The format of gsmtap doesn't seem very extensible [...]

ACK. I definitely support the idea of using TLVs.

With best regards,
Vadim Yanitskiy.
