Hi everyone,
We’re using kernel GTP developed by Osmocom on openair-cn. Turns out that we are not able to connect an UE for longer than 20 seconds using an ZTE eNB apparently because the GTP-U is not answering to the echo requests. As far I know this response is supposed to be implemented but it is not answering. Do you guys have any tips on this issue?
I don't know how OpenAir-CN uses the kernel module, but Echo handling is not part of the kernel implementation.
The kernel will pass all GTP-U packets that do not match a PDP context (this applies to Echo Request) up to the user space management process which then has to generate the proper response.
Your problem feels a bit like the OAI-CN userspace is not handling the echo requests. Maybe it's not implemented?

Thanks in advance,
