       OsmoMSC - osmo-msc

SYNOPSIS

       osmo-msc

DESCRIPTION

       OsmoMSC  is  the  Osmocom implementation of a Mobile Switching Center (MSC).  It implements the following
       interfaces:

           3GPP AoIP over M3UA or SUA towards BSCs, for example OsmoBSC, possibly via a STP like OsmoSTP
           3GPP IuCS over M3UA or SUA towards RNCs or HNBGWs, for example OsmoHNBGW, possibly  via  a  STP  like
       OsmoSTP
           Osmocom GSUP (alternative to SS7/TACP/MAP) towards an HLR such as OsmoHLR
               Subscriber management
               Supplementary Services (SS/USSD)
               Short Message Service (SMS)
               inter-MSC handover
           SMPP v3.4 for external SMS entities (minimal SMSC is built-in)
           MGCP for controlling an external Media Gateway like OsmoMGW
           MNCC for external call-control handlers, such as osmo-sip-connector for SIP trunks
           Osmocom VTY interface for configuration + introspection
           Osmocom CTRL interface for programmatic access to internal state/configuration
