We did not give a cause value, and therefore NGAP's "PDU sessions
failed" encoding failed. Give a cause value in all cases, so that this
cannot happen anymore.
To prevent against this, put an AssertFatal() into the encoder that
stops if an internally sent message does not have a correct cause value
(we can at least select a default).
Print an info message for all failed PDU sessions.
In rrc_gNB_send_NGAP_INITIAL_CONTEXT_SETUP_RESP(): if a PDU session is
already established, don't count it as failed.
While testing the OAI 5G RAN in SA mode, it appears that the PDU session
establishment request is using the wrong security header type.
The current used header is: "Integrity protected and ciphered with new
5G NAS security context".
However, according to TS 24.501, Table 9.3.1, this header can only be used
by the "Security mode complete" procedure.
Changes:
- Hence, the new security header has been changed to "Integrity protected
and ciphered", which will use the security context generated during the
"Security mode complete".
- Sequences numbers and NAS counters have been updated to reflect that
change.
remove several unused files
remove mem_block_t that is never used in a different way than a simple heap buffer
move up IP address type and remove duplications of the same struct declaration
Remove dead code, result of 2136ceec0d: we
cannot connect() in GTP on multiple remotes (as then only packets of one
host might be received), but might need to send to multiple remote
sockets.
Introduce a --no-itti-threads command line option to disable threading
in ITTI, and call message handlers in the current thread. This is being
introduced in order to increase repeatability when testing the nrUE with
the IQPlayer. Without this feature, runs with the IQPlayer will end up
differently, depending on the timing of ITTI threads, mostly when
sending messages to RRC and NAS.
This allows to communicate with multiple remote hosts. A further
improvement would be to refactor this piece of code into a function and
call it only when necessary, i.e., when we know the remote host, or want
to add one to a list of hosts.
