Welcom to the (cellular) telecom world. Feels like the state of Linux in the

so far no 4G related contributions (financially or in terms of code).
* nwGTPv2c
which is originally from https://sourceforge.net/projects/nwepc/
and has also been used in OAI at

I looked at that, it's pretty minimal for our purposed. My user requires GTPv2 (i.e. this is for 4G network).
My interest here
is really to do development on the user plane,
Are we talking about FOSS development here?
but we need a GTP-C to at least prototype something
for their network.
What exactly do you want to prototype? Which of the many GTPv2-C
transactions do you need? I guess if you can deal e.g. without
relocation, then the complexity is quite reduced.
Also, we'd like the kernel support for GTP-U
(including IPv6 which I
suppose is still outstanding).
correct. We've just added user-plane IPv6 support to openggsn in
userspace, v6 user plane (or even transport plane) in kernel GTP is
still another area looking for contributions.
