I’m attaching some logs to my previous mail:

If I kill the application and I have gtp-tunnels set up, the machine responds with and ICMP port unreachable message, but I suppose, this behaviour is ok. Another issue I’ve noticed, I’ve enabled module debugging and I can clearly see, if there is a GTP datagram arriving on the socket to a pdp context, which is not existing, the log says that the datagram is going to be handled in the userspace. However, even if the gtp-link tool is running, the datagrams are not passed to the userspace, they get buffered in the Recieve-Q (checked via netstat). On each packet this queue gets larger, what I assume is not the desired functionality. I guess there is something wrong with the gtp-link tool. Did you encounter such situation? I’m using the latest kernel 4.15.3 and the library is compiled from the osmocom repository.
