Add Ethernet PDU session support and make PDU session request configurable
This MR adds support for Ethernet PDU sessions, and makes PDU sessions
configurable: per-PDU session ID, type (IPv4/IPv4v6/IPv6/Ethernet [1]),
DNN, NSSAI.
Concretely, it adds a new configuration file section pdu_sessions below
uicc0 that looks like this if everything is specified (default values
are shown):
uicc0:
[...]
pdu_sessions:
- id: 1
type: "IPv4"
nssai_sst: 1
nssai_sd: 0xffffff
dnn: "oai"
It is possible to list multiple PDU sessions (add new line - id: 2 to
request a second PDU session). It is backwards-compatible to the current
PDU session configuration (uicc0.dnn/nssai_sst/etc), the idea being that
either legacy or new configuration could be used, but (1) if
pdu_sessions exist, it will overwrite the legacy configuration, and (2)
multiple PDU sessions, and type, can only be configured using the new
config. The old parameters --extra-pdu-id and --default-pdu-id are not
accepted anymore. Documentation has been added to the UE tutorial.
It is possible to test an Ethernet PDU session [1]. It is possible to
test the PDU session inside the UE by verifying it has an TAP interface
oaitap_ue1, and ARPing the data network (arping has been added to
oai-nr-ue container for that purpose):
ip addr add 192.168.72.140/26 dev oaitap_ue1 # same subnet as data network!
ip link set dev oaitap_ue1 up
arping -c 20 -I oaitap_ue1 192.168.72.135 # will send ARP request in Ethernet frame to get IP address of data network
[1] See description MR !3769 for more information. On the UE side, only
the type has to be changed to "Ethernet".
- `init: true` initializes the docker container with tini or alternative - it is
used to collect all the processes and correctly pass the termination signal to
them, this allows the docker container to be stopped without waiting 10 seconds
to kill the container
- speeding up the healthchecks by reducing the interval from 1-10s to 0.5s during
start period

After the last commit, it is not possible to bind on separate interfaces
for F1-C and F1-U. In other words, it is for instance not possible to
have the F1-C on one subnet on one physical interface, and F1-U on
another subnet on another physical interface. This commit introduces a
second option MACRLCs.[0].local_n_address_f1u to allow to bind F1-U on
an alternative address; if it is not specified, the interface of F1-C is
reused.
The above only works for the DU; no corresponding option exists for the
CU. For the CU, use separate CU-CP and CU-UP.
Use it in the CI.
The 5G-RFsim F1 test tested multiple DUs at one CU. This
functionality is retained in the new F1+E1 test.
The 5G-RFsim E1 test tested a single CU-UP at a single CU-CP. Here, we
extend to use multiple CU-UPs, one for each DU. The associated is
ensured by using three different F1-U transport networks, one for each
DU/CU-UP pair.
