Running TCP DL traffic with one connected UE showed a lot of fluctuations in throughput. After analysis it was found that sometimes the RLC UM PDU was not correct. It contained one byte more than it should. On the receiver side, the TCP packet contained in the RLC packet seems to be rejected by the TCP stack of the UE (it has one byte more than it should), leading to a brutal reduction of the throughput, probably due to some congestion detection in the TCP implementation. Or something. This hotfix seems to solve the problem. Using iperf in downlink with a 5MHz eNB, we see no more fluctuations, the traffic is very steady at 16.8Mb/s, as reported by the iperf server running on the phone. (17.5 in the PHY plot of the T tracer.) A rewrite of both the MAC and RLC UM packet generation is needed. The code is way too complex for what it does and may contain several similar problems that only trigger in specific rare conditions.

RELEASE NOTES:
v0.1 -> Last stable commit on develop branch before enhancement-10-harmony
v0.2 -> Merge of enhancement-10-harmony to include NGFI RRH + New Interface for RF/BBU
v0.3 -> Last stable commit on develop branch before the merge of feature-131-new-license. This is the last commit with GPL License
v0.4 -> Merge of feature-131-new-license. It closes issue#131 and changes the license to OAI Public License V1.0
v0.5 -> Merge of enhancement-10-harmony-lts. It includes fixes for Ubuntu 16.04 support
v0.5.1 -> Merge of bugfix-137-uplink-fixes. It includes stablity fixes for eNB
v0.5.2 -> Last version with old code for oaisim (abstraction mode works)
v0.6 -> RRH functionality, UE greatly improved, better TDD support,
a lot of bugs fixed. WARNING: oaisim in PHY abstraction mode does not
work, you need to use v0.5.2 for that.
v0.6.1 -> Mostly bugfixes. This is the last version without NFAPI.
