Am I right to conclude that there's some 2G / Abis

libosmo-netif but we're not actually using it in openbsc, and that the only
"real" osmo_stream_srv_* callers are 3G/Iu related?
Yes, at least likely. The history is as follows:
* we implemented openbsc with classic Abis over LAPD/E1
* we added IPA Abis/IP to it
* that code went into libosmo-abis
* Pablo was tasked with the OSMUX implementation for a more efficient
transport protocol
* Pablo wrote libosmo-netif as a sort of unification layer on top of IP
and OSMUX
* We started to use osmux in osmo-bsc (and bsc-nat?) for the A interface
* We kept using libosmo-netif only for OSMUX but never migrated the
other code over to it
It might not be an exact historical record, but I guess you'd have to
ask Pablo for more details
