Andreas Eversberg 97eeaff2ff Reset 'release_99' flag in test cases at comment_start()
Rather than resetting release_99 flag in every test case that did set
it, do it in comment_start().

osmo-msc - Osmocom MSC Implementation

This repository contains a C-language implementation of a GSM Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) for 2G (GSM) and 3G (UMTS). It is part of the Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications project.

OsmoMSC exposes

  • A over IP towards BSCs (e.g. osmo-bsc: 3GPP AoIP or SCCPlite
  • IuCS over IP towards RNCs / HNBGW (e.g. osmo-hnbgw)
  • MGCP towards a co-located osmo-mgw for the RTP streams
  • GSUP (instead of 3GPP MAP) towards osmo-hlr
  • SMPP towards any external SMS sending/receiving applications
  • MNCC as external call-control interface towards e.g. osmo-sip-connectr
  • The Osmocom typical telnet VTY and CTRL interfaces.
  • The Osmocom typical statsd exporter.

OsmoMSC implements

  • mobility management
  • call control (either via built-in MNCC handler or external osmo-sip-connector)
  • voice group call (VGCS) and voice broadcast calls (VBS) as used in GSM-R
  • USSD (exposed via GSUP)
  • SMS (either via built-in SMSC or external via GSUP)

History

OsmoMSC originated from the OsmoNITB project, which started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OsmoNITB had reached maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.

OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git.
