Hi ,
Posting question related to capability to implement user plane (GTP tunnel) for S1-U and Iu-PS interface between S-GW & eNB and SGSN & RNC respectively via osmocom kernel GTP-U module.
At present it seems if TE-ID is not valid packet is dropped in kernel GTP-U module. So in order to use this for S1-U/Iu-PS interface it is required to add support for following use-case:

*       Down link packet arrival in S-GW /SGSN for UE which is in idle mode - Buffer the packet and trigger paging to move the UE to connected.

a.       When UE moves to idle mode - S1-U or IuPS bearer is released. In this case IP address and TE-ID of eNB/RNC becomes invalid.

b.       DL Packet is received for the idle mode UE in S-GW/SGSN -  In this case , kernel GTP-U module should deliver packet to user-space application (SGW/osmoSGSN) so that these packets can be buffered in user space and paging can be initiated.



Question - Is there any plan to support above in near-future in osmocom kernel GTP-U module or larger question would be to plan to enable  usage  of kernel GTP-U module in SGSN and SGW towards RAN ?



Thanks,

Anoop
