Hi all,
Yes, I actually have many problems when debugging PCU too, so I think that using GSMTAP is good solution, because it is fast solution, and it will be really helpful. About human-readable PCU log messages, I think that using prefixes is normal, but we should use TFI+TLLI for prefix, because especially for PCU debugging it is very important to have ability to control particular TBF.

I would treat those two independent. The case for GSMTAP is simply to have a synchronous / monotonic log (pcap in this case) that combines both actual packets on Gb and Um, as well as the human-readable log messages generated by the PCU code in between.
Just to clarify. Do you just want to transfer a normal log string as a payload in a GSMTAP message, so that it'll be shown in Wireshark "Info" column?
yes.
