PS1:
I think it is ok to merge this kind of approach now, but for later we definitely want to
be smarter about this. In a larger-than-trivial network you would likely quickly saturate
the PCH (downlink CCCH) if you push all paging requests everywhere.
If the MSC wants to page the entire netwrok (bsc coverage area) it will say that in the
paging request. But in most normal cases it would request to only page in a specific LA.
Dynamically learning from the LU is a smart idea, and I like it - but unfortuantely it
wouldn't work at the moment we start (or restart) bsc-nat. Then we don't have a
(complete) table of the LAC yet, and we wouldn't be able to rout paging, even while
there are still phones out there in those LA/BTS which could be paged.
The other option would be to introduce some osmocom proprietary IE to the BSSMAP RESET
which contains the LAC[s] of all the cells in the BSC. As we are developing osmo-bsc_nat
primarily for use with osmo-bsc, this would be an elegant solution for the primary use
caes.
