Remove public API that makes no sense anymore and is dead code. I see the dropped API as a dead-end initial misconception of the early mgcp client, and it doesn't really make sense to drag this stuff along. It has not been used by osmo-msc,-bsc for a long time now, and just confuses the reader. It is public API, yes, and older versions of osmo-msc / osmo-bsc will not be able to compile against this, but even if it did, the resulting MGCP client would not work with the current osmo-mgw: this API is still based on the premise that the MGCP client dictates the MGW endpoint numbers, a concept that cannot be used with the current osmo-mgw. Instead, osmo-mgw expects a wildcarded endpoint upon CRCX and assigns its own endpoint names. Also, the bts-base configuration is unused and a legacy of when osmo-bsc_mgcp had explicit BTS and CN sides. Change-Id: I98a9f1f17a1c4ab20cea3b08c7d21663592134d6
About OsmoMGW ============= OsmoMGW originated from the OpenBSC project, which started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OpenBSC 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. OsmoMGW was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git. It originated as a solution to merely navigate RTP streams through a NAT, but has since matured to a Media Gateway implementation that is capable of streaming RTP for 2G (AoIP) and 3G (IuCS) GSM networks as well as (still not implemented at time of writing) transcoding between TRAU, various RTP payloads and IuUP. The OsmoMGW program exposes an MGCP interface towards clients like OsmoMSC and OsmoBSC, and receives and sends RTP streams as configured via MGCP. The libosmo-mgcp-client library exposes utilities used by e.g. OsmoMSC (found in osmo-msc.git) to instruct OsmoMGW via its MGCP service.
