Re: [PATCH 1/2] Add support of virtual networks for sending network name to ms depending on imsi

Hi Holger, Thank you for patch review. can you please give a general introduction of that feature? Describe when The basic idea is to support roaming-based network sharing. So subscribers of different operators can roam seamlessly in our network. For that purpose we should be able to check a subscriber's IMSI to identify the virtual network the IMSI belongs to. On the first stage to achieve seamless roaming we should be able to set network name for each supported virtual network. In future we plan to add more configuration parameters for virtual network: - auth policy (which could solve http://projects.osmocom.org/issues/1647) - location updating reject cause (useful for real deployments) May be you also have any ideas which parameters could be added to virtual network node? Why it is not a regexp for the IMSI but actually only the country code and Yes, I agree that the current implementation is not enough flexible and it is a good idea to use imsi-prefix instead of mcc and mnc, also it will fix the issue with 3 digit mnc. Do you think it makes sense? But I am not sure that I understand the idea of using regexp for the IMSI, could you please clarify for which cases it could be useful? -- Regards, Ivan Kluchnikov. http://fairwaves.ru
