Each received PFCP message triggered ogs_pfcp_node_find(), causing a DNS
resolution if node_id was FQDN. Under heavy traffic, this could lead to
excessive DNS queries.
- Implement a 300-second refresh interval to avoid repeated DNS lookups.
- Store last_dns_refresh in each node to defer new queries until needed.
- Treat config-based nodes with no Node ID as UNKNOWN, matching them by IP
alone until ogs_pfcp_node_merge() updates their ID.
- Validate IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN types in ogs_pfcp_node_merge() and reject
invalid IDs.
- Provide inline code comments for clarity and maintainability.
- Replace direct usage of OGS_ADDR/OGS_PORT macros with
ogs_sockaddr_to_string_static() for consistent IPv4/IPv6 logging.
- Remove redundant stack buffer allocations for address printing.
- Update PFCP node address handling to use addr_list and related
merges, avoiding obsolete sa_list references.
- Use ogs_pfcp_extract_node_id() and related APIs to safely extract
PFCP Node ID, improving error handling and reducing stack usage.
- Added support for the N9 For Roaming interface type:
- Core interface act as V-UPF.
- Access interface act as H-UPF.
- Modified V-UPF behavior:
- V-UPF updates only the TEID and IP Address in the GTP-U header.
- The content following the Extension Header is passed through directly
between the UE and H-UPF.
This implementation ensures seamless data flow between the UE, V-UPF, and H-UPF
while maintaining integrity for Home Routed Roaming scenarios.
This field was previously omitted, which could lead to
improper handling of interface-specific logic in certain scenarios.
The addition of the 3GPP Interface Type ensures correct behavior
in compliance with the 3GPP standards for PFCP message handling.
1. Fix SGW-U/UPF bug by comparing QFI only when PDI's QFI is present
Resolved an issue where the QoS Flow Identifier in the GTP-U Extension Header
was incorrectly compared regardless of the presence of PDI's QFI.
Updated the implementation to perform the comparison
only when PDI's QFI is present.
2. Add Outer Header Removal settings to SGW's PDR where necessary
Addressed the absence of Outer Header Removal in the SGW's PDR
by adding it to all required locations, ensuring proper header handling.
3. Remove unnecessary GTP-U Extension Header Removals
Eliminated all instances of GTP-U Extension Header Removal
since they should only be used during handover from 5GS to EPS.
This cleanup prevents improper header removals in other scenarios.
4. Delete unnecessary usage of Network Interface and UE IP Address
Removed all redundant references to Network Interface and UE IP Address,
streamlining the codebase and reducing potential confusion.
5. Change precedence so that Control has higher priority than Data
Adjusted the precedence settings to ensure that Control messages
are given higher priority over Data, enhancing the system's efficiency
and responsiveness.
The way subnet is set up has changed as shown below.
```
<OLD Format>
smf:
session:
- subnet: 10.45.0.1/16
<NEW Format>
smf:
session:
- subnet: 10.45.0.0/16
gateway: 10.45.0.1
```
For more information, please refer to Pull Request #2975.
'node_timeout' and some other functions can remove a smf_sess_t
while that session is still waiting for a PFCP reply
and has an active PFCP xact.
In this case, xact->data points to the deleted session
and xact's timeout function (sess_5gc_timeout for example)
eventually refers to this already freed session.
This fix prevents duplicate deletes from occurring by checking to see
if the session context has already been deleted when the timeout occurs.
Additionally, it moves session deletions out of timer callbacks into
state machine by reselect_upf().
Due to the way 'ogs_timer_mgr_expire' calls timer callbacks,
one must not stop or expire timers from within a timer callback.
And now one must not remove sessions from within a timer callback.
For bi-directions, the rules are created in the same form as for downlink
as shown below, so to apply them for uplink, we need to swap the rules
according to the interface.

TS23.007 17.4.1
19A PFCP based restart procedures
After a PFCP entity has restarted, it shall immediately update all local Recovery Time Stamps and shall clear all remote
Recovery Time Stamps. When peer PFCP entities information is available, i.e. when the PFCP Association is still alive,
the restarted PFCP entity shall send its updated Recovery Time Stamps in a Heartbeat Request message to the peer
PFCP entities before initiating any PFCP session signalling.
* [PFCP] Fix trailing whitespace in message generation files
* [PFCP] message gen: Support multiple URR ID IEs in Create PDR group
* [PFCP] Support associating multiple URRs to a PDR
According to 3GPP TS 29.244:
"""
A PDR shall contain:
- zero, one or more URRs, which contains instructions related to traffic measurement and reporting.
"""
* [PFCP] Fix trailing whitespace
* [PFCP] Fix wrong endianess enc of some URR values
u32 tlvs are already converted to big endian automatically. Manually
doing so ends up in double conversion and hence in wrong endianness
being sent over the wire.
Similar issue was also fixed recently in the PFCP decoding path.

* Flow-Description use 'to assigned' in Gx Interface
* Support SDF Filter ID
* Support F-TEID's Choose
* BAR(Buffering) is added in PFCP session
* Default Apply Action uses NOCP|BUFF
So far, no operation was performed when Error Indication was received
from eNodeB. For that reason, I solved #568 issues by controlling
the MME to prevent this from happening.
Now, when GTP-U Error Indication is received, MME and SGW are implemented
to do what they have to do. I hope that the network can be restored
by responding appropriately even if Error Indication occurs.
