If eg. PCRF or AAA diameter link is not yet ready (eg. PCRF crashed),
and a client sends a CreateSessionRequest announcing its ow F-TEID,
then open5gs-smfd answers with Create Session Response Cause=
"Remote peer not responding", but it is not setting the received F-TEID
in the header of the response, instead it sends with TEI=0.
As a result, the peer cannot match the CreateSessionResponse,
and needs to rely on its own timeout timer to figure out
that specific request failed.
To address this issue, I modified the GTP Response message to check
the Sender F-TEID and send it accordingly, setting the destination TEID
to the value of the Sender F-TEID.
I've made this modification only for SMF, but MME and SGW-C have not done so;
if you need to, you can work from the examples in SMF.
Similarly, the same situation can happen with PFCP. If anyone needs to do this
in the future, I think you can work on it this way.
Scenario is handover on S1AP, data forwarding is enabled, and
the Source ENB is forwarding DL PDCP packets to EPC(SGWU)
with PDCP SN included. SGWU is also forwarding these packets
to the Target ENB.
However the PDCP SN is not present in the forwarded packets
from SGWU to Target ENB.
I modified this part, and there was the same problem in 5GC, fixed it as well.
A lot of code in GTP-U has been modified,
so if you have any problems, please let us know right away.
