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.
This also happens in PFCP, so to solve this problem, I added teid/seid_presence
to the interface that sends the error message as shown below.
void ogs_gtp2_send_error_message(ogs_gtp_xact_t *xact,
int teid_presence, uint32_t teid, uint8_t type, uint8_t cause_value);
void ogs_pfcp_send_error_message(
ogs_pfcp_xact_t *xact, int seid_presence, uint64_t seid, uint8_t type,
uint8_t cause_value, uint16_t offending_ie_value);
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.
In the past only GTPv2C was supported, and had the "gtp" generic prefix.
Later on, GTPv1C support was added, and "gtp1" prefix was used.
Let's move GTPv2C specific bits to have "gtp2" prefix too, and leave
"gtp" prefix for generic stuff among different GTP versions.
* [CORE] tlv: Store mode in ogs_tlv_t
This allows specifying the format of the IE for each individual IE,
hence allowing messages containing IEs formatted in different ways.
This is needed in order to support parsing GTPv1-C, since messages
contain IEs with different structure (TLV vs TV). Hence, this is a
preparation patch to add support for parsing TVs in ogs-tlv.c/.h.
* [CORE] tlv: Support parsing msg with both TLV and TV in it
IEs of type TV are sometimes used in GTPv1-C. Current tlv parser/builder
doesn't provide with ways to parse messages which contain TV formatted
IEs. This patch adds the relevant types and ways to encode/decode them.
Furthermore, the current parser/builder allows parsing/building messages
containing the exact same format in all its IEs. A new parser function
is added which allows parsing messages of different types (TV, TLV)
mixed in the same message. In order to be able to do so, it uses the
general msg_mode passed to it in order to know the general TLV format
(in essence, the length of the Tag field, and also the length of the
Length field if applicable each IE).
Looking up the instance in the TLV description is left undone and
hadcoded to 0, since the only user so far requiring this API is GTPv1-C,
which has no instances.
* [CORE] tlv: Support repeated tag+instance parsing TLV message
In GTPv2C, repeated IEs (same tag) are easily differentiated by the
Instance byte, which provides info to match different decoded
structures. In GTPv1C though, there's no Instance byte, and we still
encounter repeated IEs (like GSN Address in Create PDP Context Request).
Hence, the TLV decoder needs to be updated to track count of IEs found
(identified by tag+instance, where instance is always 0 in GTPv1C) and
get the proper description index + offset into the decoded structure.
* [GTP]: Move GTPv2-C specifics to its own libgtp subdir
This will allow adding GTPv1-C code by the side. Most GTPv2 code is left
in this patch as "gtp" instead of renaming it to "gtp2" in order to
avoid massive changes. It can be done at a later stage if wanted.
* [GTP] Support generating GTPv1-C messages
* [SMF] Add Gn interface support
This patch introduces GTPv1C support to open5gs-smfd. With it,
open5gs-becomes a GGSN too, where SGSN can connect to, hence supporting
GERAN and UTRAN networks.
