Can you tell us more about that device?<br>

<br>
To the best of my knowledge, there is no 3GPP specification for Abis over SCTP.<br>
<br>
As such, it's not a surprise that we're not implementing it in OsmoBSC :)<br>
Maybe I missed something. Can you please point me to relevant<br>
specification for this Abis dialect?<br>
<br>
I would assume it's some vendor-specific dialect. Do you have protocol-level<br>
documentation for that available? Do you have protocol traces of this dialect?<br>
<br>
In any case, even with documentation and/or traces, you would need to<br>
develop the respective code to interface this new Abis<br>
dialect/encapsulation. The required effort depends on how far that<br>
dialect diverges from the existing "known" dialects/formats. If it's<br>
just 08.58 RSL and 12.21 OML inside SCTP, then it should be rather<br>
little effort. But that's a big "if" :)<br>
<br>
