Bug #6189
closedSCCPLite: Support mgw pool feature
100%
Description
Right now the mgw pool feature (with more than 1 configured/ready MGW) only works with AoIP.
The expalantion can be found in this commit description:
https://gitea.osmocom.org/cellular-infrastructure/osmo-bsc/commit/da4af65a51ee8b8d7b380330c0301de293347563
The failing scenario described there can be found by running TTCN3 test BSC_Tests.TC_mgwpool_all_used in the ttcn3-bsc-test-sccplite testsuite.
The first call properly does everything through first MGW (port 2427). The second call starts properly using second MGW (port 2428) to set up the BTS-side connection, but then, when the MSC sends the IPA-encapsulated MGCP to osmo-bsc, it forwards it to the first MGW (port 2427), which is wrong, since it should be forwarded to the second MGW.
- BSC <- MSC: AssignmentRequest(CIC=1) // This CIC indicated by the MSC to the BSC the MGW endpoint to use, which means its unique per MSC
- (BSC selects an MGW from the pool, sets up the BTS-side conn on MGW endpoint=CIC=1)
- BSC -> MSC: ASsignmentCompelte
- BSC <-> MSC: IPA
- BSC should be able to remember CIC=1 from that MSC links to a specific MGW it selected previously, and submit the MGCP to it.
I attacha sample run of BSC_Tests.TC_mgwpool_all_used to show the problem.

I submitted some patches to support multiple MGWs when in SCCPlite mode:
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-mgw/+/34510 mgcp-client: Introduce API osmo_mgcpc_ep_local_name()
https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/osmo-bsc/+/34511 sccplite: Support multiple MGW in MGW pool
However, I still need to fix some problems in TTCN3 BSC_Tests.TC_mgwpool_all_used when running through ttcn3-bsc-test-sccplite.
First of all, it seems the 1st conn is not torn down properly at the BSC by the emulated MSC, and then the emulated MSC attempts to re-use the same MGCP-endpoint=1, and as a result osmo-bsc ends up picking the first conn (which was somehow not freed) and hence forwarding the message to the first MGW.
Here's the output proving what I'm saying, by removing the "break" line in the loop in osmo-bsc patch iterating over conns:
20230922182836616 DMSC NOTICE SUBSCR_CONN(msc0-conn1_subscr-IMSI-001011113915361)[0x612000021e20]{ACTIVE}: ep_local_name='1' vs rcv_ep_local_name='1' (osmo_bsc_mgcp.c:132)
20230922182836616 DMSC NOTICE SUBSCR_CONN(msc0-conn2_subscr-IMSI-001011048855582)[0x6120000228a0]{ACTIVE}: ep_local_name='1' vs rcv_ep_local_name='1' (osmo_bsc_mgcp.c:132
After removing the "break" line, the proper conn is picked and the MGCP message is forwarded to the correct MGW.
However, even then, BSC_Tests seem to be problems finding out the MGCP response message sent back to it through IPA:
