ACK.
not that I'm aware of. It started as a project to translate circuit-switched
A interfaces of a "BSplus" BTS+BSC combination into SCCPlite over IP. Then
various other bits and pieces related to MTP and SS7 had been added, towards
the direction of a STP. There may be many other features that I'm not
aware of [anymore]. It's one of the many powerful but lesser
known/understood Osmocom projects that primarily Holger was working on.
To my knowledge there are still some production deployments using it as
a M3UA <-> IPA/SCCPlite translator, but there are plans to phase that
out and use the "new" osmo-stp from libosmo-sigtran.git
instead.
Can we disable the build of this project?
I think so. We should also add a related "unmaintained" notice to the
README file or related documentation in the git repo, as well as on the
wiki.
