RE: GPRS core network simulation

Hi mister Harald, I give you more details about what I'm doing. I'm sorry for my inexperience. I have built the following configuration (each component it's a virtual machine): -------------------- | OsmoNITB | ------------------- | 192.168.30.2 | | | 192.168.60.1 192.168.10.2 192.168.10.1 ----------------- -------------------- ------------------ | FakeBTS | <---------------------> | OsmoSGSN | <-----------------> | OpenGGSN | ----> INTERNET ----------------- -------------------- ------------------ 192.168.20.1 192.168.20.2 OpenGGSN runs by using this configuration file: # TAG: fg # Include this flag if process is to run in the foreground # #fg # TAG: debug # Include this flag to include debug information. #debug # TAG: conf # Configuration file to use. This file is the configuration file, # so changing this parameter in the configuration file does not make # sense.

This is what happens: OsmoSGSN and OpenGGSN run but there isn't messages exchange. OsmoNITB runs and receive messages from fakeBTS but I read this error: <0004> abis_rsl.c:2050 unknown RSL message discriminator 0x01 Furthermore there isn't communication toward OsmoSGSN. I would like to achieve a simple communication among this components. For example ,running a script on fakeBTS to generate a PDP context request or attach request, I would like to see the request toward OsmoNITB, OsmoSGSN and finally OpenGGSN, and the response go back. My questions are: 1. Is the network configuration correct? 2. Are the configuration file correct? 3. How can I fix the RSL error message?t 4. Does a script to generate a PDP context request or attach request exist in FakeBTS package? If not, do you think that it's possible to write it in a short time? Best regards and thanks for help.
