Description

NS-STATUS can only be routed as follows:
  • PTP downlink: Simply route by NS-BVCI
  • PTP uplink: route based on "Erroneous PDU IE"
  • SIG downlink + uplink:
    • don't route (but locally terminate) if optional BVCI IE, as that one only occurs for BVCI blocked / BVCI unknown whihc is a gbproxy problem, not one with a remote peer
    • route messages without BVCI IE but with "PDU in error" IE based on the latter
If we route on the "Erroneous PDU IE", we must consider
  • the contained BSSGP PDU might be truncated, and hence our TLV parser might not be playing well along
  • we should look for TLLI + TMSI (and route based on NRI)
  • if we cannot find any routing informatoin, we treat it like NULL NRI?
  • fast path for single-SGSN case: simply route to "the" SGSN?

There are now TTCN3 tests for both uplink and downlink direction in https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-ttcn3-hacks/+/22257

BTW: we should make sure that no STATUS messages related to BLOCK/RESET/UNBLOCK are proxied/forwarded, as the local FSMs originate the messages.

The tests seem to be for BSSGP-STATUS PDUs while this ticket is about NS-STATUS PDUs

Regarding routing we will need to do something similar for BSSGP STATUS on signalling bvc (ptp can just be passed through)

thanks for catching that. I'm not sure what I was thinking 2 months ago exactly,
but I think I may have been thinking about BSSGP even back then.

In terms of NS-STATUS: I'm currently not entirely sure if we should route them
at all, or not. After all, we really do terminate the NS layer completely
in gb-proxy. The NS-VCI / NSEI are going to be different on both sides.

Hence, I think it's best to rename the ticket to BSSGP.
