Remove function pointers that were used in the past to implement the
F1(-U) interface in 4G, i.e., to have different functions to handle
split/monolithic operations. As we don't have F1 in 4G anymore (see
commit 9dc2282249), we don't need the
function pointers anymore.
On that occasion, rename the 5G functions by prepending nr_ to them;
this allows to refactor the interface in 5G further (which is not the
focus of this changeset).
In the DU, read slice information from the DU config file. Handle
multiple slices within the F1 Setup Request structure representation,
and forward it via F1 to CU. The DU slice information is stored in the
setup request structure.
Rewrite sctp_create_new_listener() to use getaddrinfo() to look up
IPv4/IPv6 addresses via a common interface. This allows to use e.g. DNS,
and enables the SCTP library to listen on IPv6 ports.
To support the above, the corresponding message is changed to not take
an IPv4 address on 4 bytes (and separate IPv6), but a single name that
will be resolved via getaddrinfo()
The previous init message used to allow multiple IPv4/IPv6 addresses;
since this is not used anywhere, remove the corresponding functionality.
Modify all uses of this ITTI message to copy te SCTP init bind addr into
ITTI message.
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.
This reverts commit 284116522b.
The problem is that (1) we don't really support multi-homing, but (2) on
some system, if the other IP addresses that the operating system
considers part of the multi-homed connection are HEARTBEAT'ed (e.g.,
docker), they answer with SCTP ABORT, which breaks the entire
connection.
In other words, force single-homing by binding. For F1-U uses, another
option will be introduced that allows to bind to a separate interface
for F1-U (separate from F1-C), if necessary.
Closes#727
The F1AP message encoders and decoders should do only that, encoding and
decoding messages. For the actual logic handling, including set up and
teardown of bearers, we should use the handlers.
In this commit, delete GTP tunnel handling from encoders/decoders. For
the CU, this happens already in the CU-UP/E1 handlers in
cucp_cuup_handler.c. For the DU, add it in the handlers in
mac_rrc_dl_handler.c.
RRC Version is a required IE. Hence, implement the encoder and decoder
for this message. At the DU and CU, read the RRC Version we use and fill
the corresponding field.

binding the local address for SCTP is pointless, because we don't really
care through which interface SCTP traffic goes. Actually, we even might
want to set the DU remote_n_addr and the the local_n_addr to addresses
in different networks, because we might want to have GTP traffic go
through a different interface than SCTP, as done in the CI test for E1.
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
- Implement: Extend the F1 encoding and decoding with Qos
- Implement: E1 decoding for QoS
- Fix: Modify the UE_MODIFICATION_REQUEST_MSG towards DU to contain QoS info based on E1AP context response
- Fix: Modify the E1AP and F1AP message structures
- Fill the Qos configuration to send to MAC
