GTP, GPRS Tunneling Protocol, is a group of IP-based communications
protocols used to carry general packet radio service (GPRS) within
GSM, UMTS and LTE networks.  GTP protocol has two parts: Signalling
(GTP-Control, GTP-C) and User data (GTP-User, GTP-U). GTP-C is used
for setting up GTP-U protocol, which is an IP-in-UDP tunneling
protocol. Usually GTP is used in connecting between base station for
radio, Serving Gateway (S-GW), and PDN Gateway (P-GW).

This patch implements GTP-U protocol for userspace datapath,
supporting only required header fields and G-PDU message type.
See spec in:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hmm-dmm-5g-uplane-analysis-00

v2 -> v3:
  - pick up the code from v2, rebase to master
  - many fixes in code, docs, and add more tests
  - travis: https://travis-ci.org/williamtu/ovs-travis/builds/619799361

v1 -> v2:
  - Add new packet_type PT_GTPU_MSG to handle GTP-U signaling message,
    GTP-U signaling message should be steered into a control plane handler
    by explicit openflow entry in flow table.
  - Fix gtpu_flags and gptu_msgtype set issue.
  - Verify communication with kernel GTP implementation from Jiannan
    Ouyang.
  - Fix unit test issue and make sure all the unit tests can pass.
  - This patch series add GTP-U tunnel support in DPDK userspace,
    GTP-U is used for carrying user data within the GPRS core network and
    between the radio access network and the core network. The user data
    transported can be packets in any of IPv4, IPv6, or PPP formats.

Seems reasonable.

Is there a larger goal here or are you just interested in the protocol?

Here are some suggestions for the documentation.

Hi Ben,

People compare vSwitch features and I always see OVS doesn't
support GTP-U. Other vSwitches such as VPP/tungsten vrouter all
support it. Since we have GTP-U v2 patch a year ago, so I'm
thinking about finishing it.

Turn out supporting GTP-U is pretty straightforward. Another benefit
is now OVS supports AF_XDP, so this makes people easier to use
userspace tunnel. I thought about upstream flow-based GTP-U support
to kernel and backport. It's also doable but with lots of maintenance
effort.

Thanks for the diff! I will merge and send v4.

Regards,
William

OK!  That makes sense.  Thanks for doing the work!

Hi Ben,
One question I have in this patch is whether to increase FLOW_WC_SEQ.
And what's the purpose of this number?

 /* This sequence number should be incremented whenever anything involving flows
   * or the wildcarding of flows changes.  This will cause build assertion
   * failures in places which likely need to be updated. */
 #define FLOW_WC_SEQ 41

In this patch, the struct flow_tnl is modified but size does not increase,
so build assertion is passed.

The purpose is to trigger build assertions in all the places that are
likely to require updates when a new field is added.  The change in size
is just a way to trigger a reminder to update FLOW_WC_SEQ; not all new
fields change the size, but many new fields do.

I recommend incrementing it, because the updates to the build assertions
throughout the tree also help with review.

OK will do it.

+            GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is a group of IP-based communications
+            protocols used to carry general packet radio service (GPRS) within
+            GSM, UMTS and LTE networks. GTP-U is used for carrying user data
+            within the GPRS core network and between the radio access network
+            and the core network. The user data transported can be packets in
+            any of IPv4, IPv6, or PPP formats.
+
+            The protocol is documented at
+            http://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/29281.htm
+
+            Open vSwitch uses UDP destination port 2152. The source port used
+            for GTP traffic varies on a per-flow basis and is in the ephemeral
+            port range.
