October 2016 - osmocom-net-gprs

by Saba Arshad

Hello, I want to use the local sims having different MNC/MCC for implementing GPRS using osmocoms with OpenBTS same as I have used them for GSM calls and sms using only openBTS. But your site http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC_GPRS says, "it is currently not possible". As it is long when posted on this site so I want to ask is it possible *now* to use the local sims? Hope you have understood my question. Waiting for your reply. Thanks. Regards, Saba Arshad

Load balancing issue on Multi-TRX configuration

by Aravind Sirsikar

Hello All, We are testing GPRS/EGPRS functionality in Multi-TRX(2 TRX) configuration for 2MS and we observed that both the MS are always assigned resources in TRX0. It seems like there is no load balancing done Across the TRXs. Similar issue "Bug #1775 LC15: No PDCH allocation across two TRX" is raised on Multi-TRX and its status is "In Progress". Please let us know if any updates on this issue. Thanks and Regards, Aravind Sirsikar

Profiling data of decoding EPDAN compressed bitmap

by Prasad Kaup

Hello All, We have executed profiling test of two versions of algorithm for decoding compressed bitmap of EPDAN. >From the results , we see that performance is better in Tree based decoding (Version2 as given below ) Version 1: Bitmap based decoding as present in current master branch ( Function name osmo_t4_decode ) Version 2: Tree based decoding ( Function name decompress_crbb , as proposed in patch "Decompress the CRBB bitmap using tree based approach"<http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/osmocom-net-gprs/2016-March/000525.html> ) A sample bitmap taken from a real mobile log is used for the test. Host execution: Time taken to decode (micro seconds) Version 1: (Bitmap based decoding) : MIN -17 MAX -19 AVERAGE -17.9 Version 2 (tree based decoding): MIN -4 MAX -13 AVERAGE - 5.2 Target execution: Time taken to decode (micro seconds) Version 1: (Bitmap based decoding) : MIN -277 MAX -583 AVERAGE - 353 Version 2 (tree based decoding): MIN -67 MAX -86 AVERAGE - 69.8 Regards Prasad

GTP-U support for upstream Linux

by Ashish Kurian

Dear Developers, I have a question for you. As you might be knowing. there is a patch now available for OVS for GTP-U support. When the developers of the patch submitted it to add to the main branch of OVS, the OVS developers told the following. It doesn't look like upstream Linux has a GTP implementation. Because our usual workflow is to get code upstream first, you should start by submitting the kernel patches against net-next when that tree is open (I don't follow netdev, so I have no idea when that is). Then, once the GTP code is upstream, we can get it into OVS here. So, is the upstream Linux having support for GTP now? I am asking this because I am not certain about what upstream Linux means. If you say that upstream Linux has support for GTP-U, then I can ask the patch developers to port it for the latest version of OVS and add it to the main branch. Best Regards, Ashish Kurian

OpenGGSN IPv6 support

by groos＠xiplink.com

Hi All I have added IPv6 support to OpenGGSN and if anybody is interested I will gladly make my patch available. It definitely needs more testing and perhaps a bit of cleanup, but currently it can do 4-in-4, 6-in-4, 4-in-6 and 6-in-6. Gerrie

OpenGGSN on live networks

by Bjørn Remseth

Hi I’m Bjørn, I work for Telenor Digital. We’re running a live experimental network (called “loltel” :-) that is technically operating as a full stack MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), renting network access from Telenor Norway. It’s mostly but not exclusively based on open source components. When we started up about two years ago we considered using OpenGGSN, but couldn’t figure out how to get it into an operational state and we couldn’t find anyone to help us, so we chose a commercial vendor instead. But today we’re again thinking of using OpenGGSN for an experiment, possibly in our live network. Are there anyone on this list with experiences either with running it in a live network, or with thoughts about how to do it / what would be necessary to get the job done? We’d love to have a discussion with you. Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes Bjørn -- Bjørn Remseth --- Senior Software Engineer (+47) 47900184 | rmz(a)comoyo.com <mailto:ane@comoyo.com> | www.comoyo.com <http://www.comoyo.com/>

Re: Dropping packet from invalid source address

However, the ICMP requests I send are not GTP encapsulated as I would have expected, and I can only see the "downlink" data (the ping requests, and not the replies). The ping is successful though, so the replies are sent some way. Let's say tun1 is the SGSN emu device and you have a ICMP Request in it. The kernel will tell the sgsnemu process that new data is present and the sgsnemu will then wrap the data with GTP-u and send it to the GGSN. So you should be able to see the wrapped data on the loopback device. > And like I mentioned before, I can not force delays in packet delivery by temporarily pausing the GGSN with ctrl-z. > > What I did was, exactly what you proposed. I used your config, and you command lines (with the only exception that I created to virtual interfaces instead of using 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2.

As you trace on tun0 the GGSN has received GTP-u and wrote it into tun0. Now the kernel decides not to respond. E.g. maybe your cloud image has some kind of firewall, you could try to disable the rp_filter on tun0, etc.

Dropping packet from invalid source address

by Peter Lithner

Hi I'm trying out openGGSN, currently running it on an Ubuntu 16.04 VM in Amazon. The reason I'm doing this is part of an evaluation I'm helping out with for a customer in the Telco-industry. I have been able to install, and run ggsn and sgsnemu to the point of sending the ECHO and creating the PDP-C (see attachment). However, I can't see that a network interface is created after the PDP-C has been accepted. According to the README on https://github.com/osmobuntu/openggsn that should happen: "After this it will attempt to establish a pdp context. If successful it will create a local interface and set up routing." Anyway, I have probably missed something in the setup. If you have any suggestions, that would be highly appreciated! What I did so far is: Install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openggsn Create "virtual" interfaces (since I'm running everything on the same machine. Not sure if this is the right way to do it though) ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up I also did the following steps, but I'm not sure exactly what they do... pardon my ignorance! 1. Add the following line to /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-10-200 tun 2. depmod -a Start GGSN ggsn -c ggsn.conf --fg -l 192.168.1.2 --net 192.168.0.0/24 --dynip 192.168.0.0/24 After this I can see the new tun0 tun0: flags=81<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 destination 192.168.0.1 inet6 fe80::9ea3:6876:c4ce:fc96 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 txqueuelen 500 (UNSPEC) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 7 bytes 448 (448.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 send ECHO (successfully) sgsnemu --listen 192.168.1.3 --remote 192.168.1.2 --dns 10.20.38.51 --timelimit 10 --contexts 0 Send ECHO + Create PDP-C sgsnemu --listen 192.168.1.3 --remote 192.168.1.2 --dns 10.20.38.51 --timelimit 10 --contexts 1 --apn internet --imsi 240011234567890 --msisdn 46702123456 --createif --defaultroute Which outputs the following: Using DNS server: 10.20.38.51 (10.20.38.51) Local IP address is: 192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3) Remote IP address is: 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) IMSI is: 240011234567890 (0xf098765432110042) Using NSAPI: 0 Using GTP version: 1 Using APN: internet Using selection mode: 1 Using MSISDN: 46702123456 Initialising GTP library <000c> gtp.c:700 GTP: gtp_newgsn() started After printing this line, sgsnemu stays very silent for 30-ish seconds, after which it prints (all in one go): Setting up interface Done initialising GTP library Sending off echo request Setting up PDP context #0 Waiting for response from ggsn........
