GGSN operation / feature
by Keith 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Hi All, I have scanned 3GPP documents for info on the GGSN IP network facing side, IIUC how the GGSN responds there is "out of scope" - I'm specifically wondering about sending ICMP host unreachable messages in response to packets for IPs that are not currently active in the pool. Sometimes it would happen where I was pinging an IP assigned to an MS while looking at other things in the SGSN and PCU but in the meantime the MS would cycle the PDP context and have a new IP. For this and maybe other reasons I wrote a proof of concept, probably not great code, but working, patch to have the GGSN send ICMP host unreachable. Do you think this is a desirable feature? If so I would try to clean it up and submit to code review. Also if in agreement, would it be worth making it switchable via a vty param? I am thinking of where one might not want the IP space to be probable, although I would assume that kind of thing is best left to the local firewall implementation. Patch here: http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-ggsn/?h=keith%2Ficmp Thanks. K.

Re: NMT-450

Hi Andreas, I pulled the new master, rebuilt my setup from source in a clean state and it works as it should. One more question though: is it possible to use the MNCC socket to connect the NMT-450 network to 2G (via Osmo-BSC), or to SIP via LCR? Thanks again! Regards, Csaba
