I have one question. The new cmd should be allowed to

only to the peers stored in the kernel space (PDP contexts) or the userspace
daemon has its own list of peers and any request should be allowed to be send?
I think we can expect userspace to know the peers (after all, it has created those
sessions and knows about the peer IP addresses), so we don't have to verify
in the kernel if it is a "valid" peer or not.
So a pure "send GTP ECHO req to given IP" and a corresponding "received GTP
ECHO resp
from given IP" (with relevant parameters) without tracking any state in the kernel
should
be sufficient.
