Remove these F1-C port numbers. The configuration is not actually
applied, and the default F1-C port number 38472 (see F1AP_PORT_NUMBER)
is hardcoded in the F1 module.
For the moment, I leave the configuration option, in case we want to
allow to configure the port numbers later).
Make a common pattern, which makes it simpler to find them in gNB logs,
and, maybe more importantly, link tunnel creation and update (the update
message was missing the "incoming" TEID, so it is not easy to link to
creation apart from the UE ID, but even then the UE might have multiple
tunnels).
Reuse the gtpv1u_bearer_t for internal functions. Hopefully this will
also simplify implementation of IPv6, as it encapsulates IP address
handling within gtpv1u_bearer_t.
The (remote) port number of the GTP module is configured during
initialization. It is therefore not required when calling
newGtpuCreateTunnel(), and could even lead to bugs (if another port
number is used than specified during GTP init).
This is a simple CU-UP load tester. It sets up a configurable number of UEs in the
CU-UP, then sends GTP traffic in downlink/uplink in the N3-F1/F1-N3
direction at the CU-UP. It then compares the sent and received data.
Additional parameters, such as amount of traffic, test length, packet
size, and IP addresses/ports are configurable.
To run:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -GNinja && ninja nr-cuup nr-cuup-load-test params_libconfig
./tests/nr-cuup/nr-cuup-load-test
./nr-cuup -O ../tests/nr-cuup/load-test.conf
The tester should be able to detect lost and reordered packets.
Example lost: Receive order 2,3,5,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 3, expected 3, next=expected+1=4
=> on packet 5, expected 4, diff=5-4=1 (lost 1), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,6 (lost packet 4)
=> on packet 2, expected 2, next=expected+1=3
=> on packet 5, expected 3, diff=5-3=2 (lost 2), next=payload+1=6
=> on packet 3, expected 6, (reduce lost by 1 to 1), next=expected=6
=> on packet 6, expected 6
=> 1 lost
Example reordered: Receiver order 2,5,3,4,6 (no losses)
Avoid the include gtpv1_u_messages_types.h, as this pulls in e.g., LTE
RRC definitions. The CU-UP load tester integrated in one of the
following commits should be able to build without LTE RRC, if it was for
GTP. Unfortunately, ITTI also pulls in LTE RRC, so it's also somewhat
useless...
Put some forward declarations instead. That also shows that the API is
unnecessarily complex, and would need some cleanup.
Remove sctp from all other targets, since we use sctp::sctp on
SCTP_CLIENT (would fail if it does not exist), and SCTP_CLIENT already
fulfils the SCTP dependency.
- Provide some documentation
- Make cmake keywards and sctp lib name lowercase
- Use standard form of find_package_handle_standard_args()
- Make an imported target sctp::sctp that will fail if being used in
cmake unless defined, which will avoid that "sctp" appears in the
cmake code but is silently discarded

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-developer.7.html#a-sample-find-module
Move the path to the beginning, so that we can use it early.
Specifically, it was after the SCTP module, and the next commit will use
the Findsctp.cmake module to find SCTP. Use the cmake-proper variable.

RAN-Container-Parent: Auto-generate artifact in failure case
RAN-Container-Parent uses Jenkinsfile-GitLab-Container, which only
triggers sub pipelines, then collects their results. However, if a sub
pipeline did not generate an artifact, the result was skipped. It would
also not show it in the automatically generated result page, when it
should.
Remedy this by automatically generating a file with a link to the
pipeline if the artifact could not be retrieved, which
1. Will give a link, which is easier for developers to follow to the
pipeline than manually clicking through Jenkins,
2. Makes the failed pipeline appear in the list of failed pipelines.
CI: test T2 with DPDK 22.11
Following the upgrade of T2 to the latest firmware, DPDK 22.11 is now required.
This MR updates the testing pipeline to ensure compatibility and deployment of
T2 physims with DPDK 22.11.
bridge->nb_cnx++ is done before calling snprintf(modelname,... in the function,
so we take the model name of the next channel. This commit corrects the issue by
using bridge->nb_cnx - 1, ensuring that the model name corresponds to the currently
connected client.
This bug was introduced by MR !3455.

Build and run OAI physims with DPDK version 22.11 for testing with the latest
T2 firmware release. Environment variables PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
are set to point to the custom installation path of DPDK v22.11.

CI: Change RU in Aerial setup from Foxconn to WNC
- Change frequency in the gNB config file, from 3.75GHz to 3.5GHz
- Add high throughput tests with may_fail tag (1Gbps in DL and 90Mbps in UL)
- Update Aerial tutorial to match the changes
NR UE: Enable additional PDU session
- fix a bug with wraparound of buffer_remain_ep
- Add --extra-pdu-id command line option
Testing procedure:
1. Start cn in openairinterface5g/doc/tutorial_resources/oai-cn5g with
docker compose up
2. Start gnb:
sudo ./nr-softmodem -O ../../targets/PROJECTS/GENERIC-NR-5GC/CONF/gnb.sa.band78.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf --gNBs.[0].min_rxtxtime 6 --rfsim --rfsimulator.server_address server
3. Monitor extra interfaces being created:
watch -n 0.5 "ifconfig | grep tun"
4. Start UE:
sudo ./nr-uesoftmodem -C 3619200000 -r 106 --numerology 1 --ssb 516 --band 78 --rfsim --uicc0.imsi 001010000000001 --extra-pdu-id 11
5. An extra tun interface oaitun_ue1p11 should be created. Observe in
the terminal from step 3
6. Ping the core network from both interfaces, e.g., ping -I
oaitun_ue1p11 10.0.0.1, ping -I oaitun_ue1 10.0.0.1. This should
generate traffic on the gNB on different LCIDs.
Measurement gaps
Scheduling measurement gaps to provide sufficient time for the UE to
re-tune its transceiver to the target carrier, complete the set of
measurements and then re-tune its transceiver back to the original
carrier.
This commit reduces the UL throughput target in the 2x2 test to align
with the host’s performance capabilities. The adjustment ensures more
reliable and consistent CI results.
Based on observations from testing on acamas, the interval between DL
disruption and the UE synch check needs to be increased - the UE takes
longer to go out of sync . A sleep of 15 seconds has proven to be a
reliable value to ensure constant results.
fix(RLC): Count dropped DL SDUs by the RLC
When a downlink SDU was discarded by the RLC Acknowledged Mode entity
due to a full transmit buffer (tx_maxsize), the drop statistics were not
being updated. The txpdu_dd_pkts and txpdu_dd_bytes counters remained at
0. It should be noted that while the statistics are named txpdu_dd_*,
the drop at this stage occurs at the SDU level.
speedup NR RLC RX for AM
rx_list is replaced by an array of size 2^(SN size - 1) which is 131072
for an SN size of 18 bits, leading to 1048576 bytes of memory used.
(Less for smaller SN sizes.)
A lot of RX processing was to run through rx_list. When the list was big
(with some non-ideal channel), it can take some time. Removing this list
should improve things. Checking with benchmark_nr_rlc_am_entity a
speedup of more thant x10 is achieved (except for the case 1024 which is
surprisingly faster than the others in the develop branch).
The only thing that may be slower is when looking for cur->next where
the SN is different, in which case we need to look for all SN one by one
until we find something or reach the limit (rx_highest_status). These
are the functions get_first_rx_pdu() and get_next_rx_pdu().
Add SYS_NICE capability to enable setting thread priority and affinity
in rfsim5g tests. This improves execution speed in test cases with
heavier processing workloads.
