I've modified the patch slightly, see below (compile-tested, but not
otherwise tested yet). Basically rename the flags attribute to 'role',
expand the commit log and removed unrelated cosmetic changes.

I've also prepared a corresponding change to libgtpnl into the
laforge/sgsn-rol branch, see
http://git.osmocom.org/libgtpnl/commit/?h=laforge/sgsn-role

This is not yet tested in any way, but I'm planning to add some
associated support to the command line tools and then give it some
testing (both against the kernel GTP in GGSN mode, as well as an
independent userspace GTP implementation).

I don't really care about which tool is used, as long as it is easily
available [and FOSS, of course].

I don't really like that latter idea. It sounds too much like a hack to
me. But then, I don't have enough phantasy right now ti imagine how an
actual implementation would look like.

To me, it is perfectly fine to run a simple, small utility in userspace
even for testing.

Regards,
Harald

Subject: [PATCH] gtp: support SGSN-side tunnels

The GTP-tunnel driver is explicitly GGSN-side as it searches for PDP
contexts based on the incoming packets _destination_ address. For
real-world use cases, this is sufficient, as the other side of a GTP
tunnel is not in fact implemented by GTP, but by the protocol stacking
of a mobile station / user equipment on the radio interface (like PDCP,
SNDCP).

However, if we want to simulate the mobile station, radio access network
and SGSN (for example to test the GGSN side implementation), then we
want to be identifying PDP contexts based on _source_ address.

This patch adds a "role" attribute at GTP-link creation time to specify
whether we behave like the GGSN or SGSN role of the tunnel; this
attribute is then used to determine which part of the IP packet to use
in determining the PDP context.
