Hi Neels,

welcome to OpenBSC code :)

> +               Osmocom Authentication Protocol (OAP)

I would argue it makes sense to at least specify/define the protocol
also to support UMTS AKA, not just plain-old GSM authentication.

This is important
* for future compatibility once the SGSN suppots 3G
* to use UMTS AKA for increased security over GERAN (GPRS/EDGE RAN)

Regards,
	Harald
