Hi. With the ongoing split of OpenBSC into per-project repository, I wonder if we could do the same to OpenGGSN and split libgtp into separate repository? Rationale: * would simplify docs for newcomers (it's not obvious that openggsn have to be built ahead of OsmoSGSN because of libgtp) * simplify release process (we can release libgtp independently of OpenGGSN, makes it easier to automate too) While at it and considering recent IPv6 support (and related config changes) it might be also good idea to rename it to OsmoGGSN (and libosmo-gtp?) to clearly mark the breaking point. What do you think? -- Max Suraev <msuraev(a)sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Director: Harald Welte

redmine e-mails broken from 08/26 through 08/31

by Harald Welte

Dear Osmocom community, from August 26th 06:54 UTC through August 31st 06:22 UTC our Osmocom.org redmine could not send any e-mails. This was due to a configuration file syntax error introduced by me, my apologies. If you rely on redmine e-mail notifications to the issues you have subscribed to, please double-check as related notifications during that interval were unfortunately lost. Best regards, Harald p.s.: The reason for the config change was to enable e-mail notifications from jenkins.osmocom.org (which it now has, if you want to configure e.g. post-build notification actions). -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

OpenGGSN IPv6 PDP context support

by Harald Welte

Dear all, I've been busy all day (and night) implementing IPv6 PDP context support in OpenGGSN. The related code is currently in gerrit for review, you can also use the 'laforge/ipv6' branch of openggsn.git In terms of configuration, all you need to do is to specify IPv6 address + prefix as the 'net'. If you don't specify a 'dynip' config option, it will automatically use the network/prefix specified in 'net'. My minimalistic example config file for testing looks like this: debug fg listen 127.0.0.6 net 2001:780:44:2000:0:0:0:0/120 Which means it is listening for GTP on IPv4 (no IPv6 on the GTP side supported), and will create a tun device with the stated IPv6 address and a /120 netmask. Your GGSN is 2001:780:44:2000::1, and UEs will get addresses allocated from 2001:780:44:2000::2 onwards. It's important to configure your UE to actually request and IPv6 PDP context. If no v4/v6 is specified in the request, it will default to IPv4. If IPv4 is requested while having a v6 pool configured, OpenGGSN will reject the PDP Context Creation due to not being able to serve a v4 PDP context. I don't have immediate plans for supporting IPv6 on the outer (transport) layer for now. I also have no plans to support v4 and v6 from a single OpenGGSN at this time. It's quite easy to run two different OpenGGSN instances in parallel, on two different IPv4 addresses for the GTP side, and then use OsmoSGSN's PDP context routing to those different GGSNs. This way it is possible to have a v4 APN and a v6 APN without having to do any additional development right now. Architecturally, having multiple IP pools (and some for v4 and some for v6) is definitely possible, and should actually be easy. We just need to switch to a configuration mechanism that supports something like this, such as libosmovty. Once we have a VTY based configuration, it should be simple to operate multiple IP pools or multiple virtual APNs on one OpenGGSN. WARNING: The Linux Kernel GTP code does *not* support IPv6 user payload at this point. So if you want IPv6, you will need to use regular, old-fashioned userspace GTP-U in OpenGGSN for now. Controbutions are always welcome, of course!

[PATCH net-next v1 0/3] Flow Based GTP Tunneling

by Jiannan Ouyang

This patch series augmented the existing GTP module to support flow based GTP tunneling and modified the openvswitch datapath to support the GTP vport type. A flow based GTP net device enables that, 1) on the RX path, the outer (IP/UDP/GTP) header information could to be stored in the metadata_dst struct, and embedded into the skb. 2) on the TX path, packets are encapsulated following instructions in the metadata_dst field of the skb. A flow based GTP net device can be integrated with Open vSwitch, which allows SDN controllers to program GTP tunnels via Open vSwitch. Open vSwitch changes are based on patch set [PATCH] Add GTP vport based on upstream datapath Example usage with OVS: ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gtp-vport -- set interface gtp-vport \ ofport_request=2 type=gtp option:remote_ip=flow options:key=flow ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=2,tun_src=192.168.60.141,tun_id=123, \ actions=set_field:02:00:00:00:00:00->eth_src, \ set_field:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff->eth_dst,LOCAL" ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \ "in_port=LOCAL,actions=set_tunnel:888, \ set_field:192.168.60.141->tun_dst,2" arp -s 10.1.1.122 02:00:00:00:00:00 Jiannan Ouyang (3): gtp: refactor to support flow-based gtp encap and decap gtp: Support creating flow-based gtp net_device openvswitch: Add GPRS Tunnel Protocol (GTP) vport support drivers/net/gtp.c | 375 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- include/net/gtp.h | 8 + include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h | 1 + net/openvswitch/Kconfig | 10 ++ net/openvswitch/Makefile | 1 + net/openvswitch/vport-gtp.c | 144 +++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 475 insertions(+), 64 deletions(-) create mode 100644 net/openvswitch/vport-gtp.c -- 2.9.3

[PATCH net 5/7] gtp: Initialize 64-bit per-cpu stats correctly

by Florian Fainelli

On 32-bit hosts and with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC we should be seeing a lockdep splat indicating this seqcount is not correctly initialized, fix that by using netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats() instead of an open coded allocation.
