yes.

with tcpdumo you should really see this packet and what kind of message it is. I just tried the following in Debian 8.0 VM with the config I had posted:


GGSN:
sudo ./ggsn/ggsn -c ./../../ggsn.conf -f

SGSN:
sudo ./sgsnemu/sgsnemu -l 127.0.0.1 -r 127.0.0.2 -a "foo" --createif

Using default DNS server
Local IP address is:   127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
Remote IP address is:  127.0.0.2 (127.0.0.2)
IMSI is:               240010123456789 (0xf987654321010042)
Using NSAPI:           0
Using GTP version:     1
Using APN:             foo
Using selection mode:  1
Using MSISDN:          46702123456

Initialising GTP library
<000c> gtp.c:701 GTP: gtp_newgsn() started
Setting up interface
Done initialising GTP library

Sending off echo request
Setting up PDP context #0
Waiting for response from ggsn........

Received echo response
Received create PDP context response. IP address: 10.23.42.2

After network config:
tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:10.23.42.1  P-t-P:10.23.42.1  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:252 (252.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

tun1      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:10.23.42.2  P-t-P:10.23.42.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:252 (252.0 B)


So tun0 has been allocated by the GGSN and tun1 by the SGSN




ping -I tun1 10.23.42.1
PING 10.23.42.1 (10.23.42.1) from 10.23.42.2 tun1: 56(84) bytes of data.

(I used CTRL+Z on the ggsn to see that there are actually delays). Can you try to repeat that?
