This commit refactors the TUN interface management by moving its creation and configuration from the PDCP layer to the SDAP layer for UE. Key changes include: - Introduced `tun_generate_ue_ifname` and `tun_destroy` functions for better TUN interface lifecycle management. - Added support for creating and destroying UE-specific TUN interfaces in SDAP. - Refactored `nr_pdcp_module_init` to remove TUN-related logic and moved it to SDAP. - Updated NAS and SDAP layers to handle PDU session-specific TUN interface creation and configuration. - Enhanced SDAP entity management to include TUN socket handling and thread lifecycle. - Updated NAS message handling to initialize default PDU session TUN interfaces in NOS1 mode. - Use a single SDAP thread function for gNB and UE - Allow noS1 mode also in SA on gNB These changes improve modularity by isolating TUN interface management within the SDAP layer, aligning with the 3GPP architecture, and simplifying the PDCP layer.

OpenAirInterface documentation overview |
This is the general overview page of the OpenAirInterface documentation.
This page groups links to general information, tutorials, design documents, radio integration, and special-purpose libraries.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before reading this documentation, we strongly advise you to keep your own repository rebased on develop
or at least to checkout the documentation on the version of the repository you are using.
Then the documentation will better reflect the features available in your repository so that you may avoid some errors.
Beware if you previously pulled the develop branch that your repository may be now behind develop.

Libraries
General
- The T tracer: a generic tracing tool (VCD, Wireshark, GUI, to save for later, ...)
- OPT: how to trace to wireshark
- The configuration module
- The logging module

Radios
Some directories under radio contain READMEs:
The other SDRs (AW2S, LimeSDR, ...) have no READMEs.
Special-purpose libraries
- OAI has two scopes: one based on Xforms and one based on imgui, described in this README
- OAI comes with an integrated telnet server to monitor and control
- OAI comes with an integrated web server
Testing
- UnitTests.md explains the unit testing setup
- TESTBenches.md lists the CI setup and links to pipelines
Developer tools
