icmp encapsulation
by fırat sönmez 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi, I would like to ask&know how the GGSN holds and finds pdp contexts for icmp packets that have same source and destination address on the downlink? For example, if there are two hosts having same IP address behind two different network pinging same destination address and they are encapsulated at SGSN and then one GGSN receives both and saves the packet, decapsulates and sends to the destination. On the downlink destination responds to the two ping packets (they are different because they have different identifier in icmp packet), but then how does GGSN finds the pdp contexts again to encapsulate these packets and send back to the two SGSNs? The pdp context doesnt include thse icmp identifiers. There is no sockets either since icmp doesnt have sockets. On the downlink, when there are two icmp packets recieved by GGSN, there is only icmp identfier that distinguish each other, but this identifier is not in the pdp context. Would someone help me figure out this? Thank you all

sgsnemu ignoring Request accepted
by Viktor Tsymbalyuk 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Hello, I continue to play with sgsnemu, and found that it stopped for some reason after "Request accepted". Does sgsnemu working? At my mind problem inside `create_pdp_conf` function . After small changes, I start to see icmp inside gtp tunnel in trace. Please check attachments with console output, patch and pcap. May be I has wrong understanding. -- Viktor

OsmoDevCon 2018 schedule planning
by Harald Welte 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Dear Osmocom Community, [please respect the Reply-To and post all follow-up discussion to this to openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org, so we avoid having long threads cross-posted to several mailing lists.] Like every year in early December, it is time to discuss as schedule for OsmoDevCon in the upcoming year. Note: Ths is about OsmoDevCon, the more private meeting of developers, *NOT* about OsmoCon, the public conference. == When, Who, Where == I propose the following date for OsmoDevCon 2018: April 20 - April 23rd, 2018 * Who: Active developers/contributors of Osmocom projects (as usual) * Where: IN-Berlin, Berlin (as usual) Please let me know ASAP if that proposed date works for everyone who'd want to attend. We can still change it now, but I would want to nail down the date pretty soon. == Format == After the experiment of reducing from 4 to 3 days last year (due to OsmoCon), we will again go for *four days* in 2018. However, we should clearly divide the days in a way that e.g. "GSM/3G" topics are on two days, while SDR+Other topics are on the other days, so people not interested in some topics can skip one or two days, as needed. We could even divide it further like: * 1 day 3GPP RAN (osmo-bts, osmo-bsc, osmo-pcu, virt_phy, fake_trx, ...) * 1 day 3GPP CN (osmo-msc, osmo-hlr, osmo-sip-connector, nextepc, etc.) * 2 days misc Regards, and looking forward to meeting you [again] in 2018, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Packets are not arrived at tunnel setup by libgtpnl
by congnt 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

Hi guys, I'm using libgtpnl tools (gtp-link, gtp-tunnel) to setup a tunnel in my local machines. I was able to setup gtp link to 2152 port as well as gtp tunnel. I have pre-recorded GTP packets with correct teid and IP address as well as chksum and port to send to 2152. However I can not see any packets in gtp link device when using tcpdump. By add some messages in gtp module, I notice that the function gtp1u_udp_encap_recv in gtp.c kernel file was never been called if I send packet with GTP headers. However, that function is called if I send normal UDP packet without GTP header. Note that I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 4.8.0 lowlatency, the tunnel is on a VM created by Virtualbox using virtio network driver. Any suggestions on how to debug/solve this problem? Many thanks in advances. Best regards Cong.

libgtpnl migrated to gerrit
by Harald Welte 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hi all, FYI: I migrated libgtpnl (the kernel-GTP netlink interface helper library used by OpenGGSN and OsmoGGSN) to gerrit earlier today. This means direct pushes to git.osmocom.org no longer work and you will have to submit modifications via gerrit, as we do for all our other major repositories. I've also set up a gerrit build verification job via jenkins-job-builder and added a corresponding contrib/jenkins.sh script to it. The buildhosts now need libmnl-dev as build dependency installed. I added this to our current debian8 + debian9 build slaves and the wiki documentation about them. In other news: libgtpnl is already part of the network:osmocom:nightly and network:osmocom:latest feeds for some weeks. I intend to test kernel GTP support in osmo-ggsn soon and then change the package builds to include kernel-gtp support via libgtpnl by default.

Re: GPRS EXperiments

It might be related to a basic problem we still have with data services: we don't cache anything. If a PDP context is still being established, we drop data transfers to the floor, instead of storing them and sending them through when the context is established. I'm personally not familiar with the details there, but that's my current understanding. So a first ping would get lost, a second one within a timeframe that still has the PDP context open will go through. I think the idea there is that generally, higher level data communication should attempt to resend, but in practice that often doesn't seem to work that well. Not sure how to configure the PDP context timeout, or whether we even can. Theoretically, if you had on your phone a regular ping running in the background ... it's ugly, but yea. Caching those first packets is quite complex, especially for SGSNs sitting on a small device like a sysmoBTS with limited memory. I guess something could be tried there, by limiting resources used for caching in intelligent ways... Someone would need to fund that, or go ahead and try. ~N

Want to do paid work on Osmocom? sysmocom is hiring
by Harald Welte 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Dear Osmocom community, I would like to point out that at sysmocom, we're currently (again) hiring [1]. If you happen to have an interest in open source cellular communications and are fluent in C language development, we would love to hear from you. sysmocom probably doesn't need any introduction here, but just in case: The company was founded by Holger Freyther and Harald Welte, two of the leading OpenBSC and Osmocom developers from the very early days of the project. Today we are responsible for by far the largest number of commits to the Osmocom GSM/3G infrastructure related git repositories. Among our current priorities are automatic testing for the GPRS PCU, generalization of the OsmoMGW media gateway, support for load-based hand-over, inter-BSC hand-over as well as various improvements on the lower layers of the GPRS protocol stack. We're very dedicated to the cause in furthering the capabilities of open source cellular infrastructure from 2G to 4G. We believe in working upstream, no open core or dual licensing. If you have an interest working with an enthusiastic, strong technical and dedicated team of Osmocom hackers, please don't hesitate to let me know, best by e-mail to jobs(a)sysmocom.de Thanks, Harald p.s.: I hope this kind of message is not disturbing to anyone. I think it is important to the Osmocom project to have more paid people working on the stack, so it is justified. The positions we are seeking to fill will work [almost exclusively] on Osmocom, so it's not a random job ad but in the very interest of Osmocom, and hence on-topic for this list.

New "osmocom:latest" package feed
by Harald Welte 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

Dear Osmocom community, since the NITB-split has completed, and we have integrated 3G fully into master, and also merged nitb-split and nitb packages in one feed, the next step on the agenda was to create packages/feeds that are more stable than "nightly". After a long day of "release engineering" work and related fixes, starting from today, Osmocom not only has the "osmocom:nightly" feed tracking the "master of the day" of all repositories. We now also have a "osmocom:latest" feed for various Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux distributions which contains packages for the last tagged version of each source code repository. The setup is fairly similar to that of the "osmocom:nightly" packages and is described at https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Latest_Builds I've also removed all known references to Nightly_Builds on the wiki and replaced it with a reference to the new Binary_Packages page explaining the differences between Nightly_Builds and Latest_Builds: https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Binary_Packages As you can see at https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/network:osmocom:latest almost all the packages are building already. I intend to fix the remaining three (osmo-bsc, osmo-msc and osmo-pcu) shortly. -- - Harald Welte <hwelte(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
