Hi!
We are affiliated with Aalto University and conducting research in the area of mobile
networks. We have been improving Amit Chawre's project
NwEPC<https://sourceforge.net/projects/nwepc/>c/>. I saw your implementation of the
GTP-U kernel module and I started to check If I could integrate it to this project.
I couldn't find any roadmap of the GTP-U in your website. Do you have any future plans
for it? I am interested in the following points:
- Creation, modification and removal of unidirectional tunnels, opposed to the
creation of both tunnels without possibility of modification. In the real EPC nodes, the
tunnels are never created at the same time. Also they can be removed due to the UE moving
to Idle state (i.e. GTP downlink between the eNB and the S-GW).
- Possibility to send End Marker and direct and indirect forwarding tunnels.
- The S-GW receive from a GTP endpoint and sends it to a different one. What
mechanisms do you have in mind to do this?
- Support of multiple EPS bearers for the same UE.
- Policy control, enforcement and statistics reporting (probably integrating it
with netfilter).
How can I contribute to this project. Should I work on the whole kernel tree? I have no
experience with kernel module development. If you want I could work on some API
modification proposals and designs.
