+/* Each subscriber connection is managed by different roles, as described in 3GPP TS 49.008 '4.3 Roles of MSC-A, MSC-I
+ * and MSC-T':
+ *
+ * MSC-A: subscriber management and control of all transactions (CC, SMS, USSD,...)
+ * MSC-I: "internal": the actual BSSMAP link to the BSS, or RANAP link to the RNC.
+ * MSC-T: "transitory": a new pending RAN link to a BSS or RNC, while handover is in progress.
+ * MSC-T becomes the new MSC-I once handover ends successfully.
+ *
+ * Without inter-MSC handover involved, all of the roles are managed by a single MSC instance. During inter-MSC
+ * handover negotiation, an MSC-T is set up at a remote MSC while MSC-A remains in the original MSC, and when handover
+ * concludes successfully, the remote MSC-T becomes the new remote MSC-I, replacing the local MSC-I role.
+ *
+ * Furthermore, the 3GPP specs use the following terms for naming MSC locations: MSC-A, MSC-B and MSC-B', as well as BSS
+ * or BSS-A, BSS-B and BSS-B':
+ *
+ * MSC-A: the first MSC the subscriber connected to.
+ * MSC-B: a remote MSC (if any).
+ * MSC-B': another remote MSC (if any, during Subsequent Handover).
+ *
+ * The full role assignments are spelled out in 3GPP TS 29.002.
+ *
+ * In Osmocom, the MAP protocol spoken between the MSCs is modeled using GSUP instead.
+ *
+ * Here are some diagrams of the lifecycle of a single subscriber's MSC-A,-I,-T roles at the locations MSC-A, MSC-B and
+ * MSC-B'.
+ *
+ * Initially:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A]
+ * BSS <-> MSC-I
+ *
+ * Then during inter-MSC handover negotiation:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A] <-MAP-> MSC-B
+ * BSS <-> MSC-I MSC-T <-> new BSS
+ *
+ * and when successful:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A] <-MAP-> MSC-B
+ * MSC-I <-> BSS
+ *
+ * Additional subsequent handover:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A] <-MAP-> MSC-B
+ * ^ MSC-I <-> BSS
+ * |
+ * +-------MAP-> MSC-B'
+ * MSC-T <-> new BSS
+ *
+ * (Here, quote, MSC-A "shall act as the target BSS towards the MSC-I and as the MSC towards the MSC-T.")
+ * and when successful:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A]
+ * ^
+ * |
+ * +-------MAP-> MSC-B
+ * MSC-I <-> BSS
+ *
+ * Subsequent handover back to the original MSC:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A] <-MAP-> MSC-B
+ * new BSS <-> MSC-T MSC-I <-> BSS
+ *
+ * and then
+ * [MSC-A]
+ * BSS <-> MSC-I
+ *
+ *
+ * Inter-BSC Handover is just a special case of inter-MSC Handover, where the same MSC-A takes on both MSC-I and MSC-T
+ * roles:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A]
+ * BSS <-> MSC-I
+ * new BSS <-> MSC-T
+ *
+ * The mechanism to take on different roles is implemented by different FSM instances. Each FSM kind has one
+ * implementation that acts locally, and another implementation to forward to a remote MSC. For example, in this
+ * scenario:
+ *
+ * [MSC-A] <-MAP-> MSC-B
+ * MSC-I <-> BSS
+ *
+ * the implementation is
+ *
+ * [MSC-A-----------------] [MSC-B-----------------]
+ * msc_a <-> msc_i_REMOTE <---GSUP---> msc_a_REMOTE <-> msc_i <--BSSMAP--> [BSS]
+ *
+ * MSC-A has a locally acting msc_a FSM implementation. The msc_i FSM implementation at MSC-A receives signals from the
+ * msc_a FSM and "merely" sends the MAP instructions to MSC-B.
+ *
+ * At MSC-B, in turn, the msc_a FSM's "remote" implementation receives the MAP messages and dispatches according events
+ * to the MSC-B's local msc_i FSM instance, which is implemented to directly act towards the BSS.
+ *
+ * To implement single-MSC operation, we have the separate MSC roles' local implementations on the same MSC instance
+ * instead of forwarding.
+ *
+ *
+ * Use of MAP procedures on GSUP towards HLR:
+ *
+ * The MSC <-> VLR communication does still happen locally in the MSC-A only. In other words, there may be MAP message
+ * handling between the MSCs (in the form of GSUP), but no MAP to talk to our internal VLR.
+ *
+ * From the VLR to the HLR, though, we again use GSUP for subscriber related HLR operations such as LU requesting and
+ * retrieving auth tokens.
+ *
+ * To complete the picture, the MSC-A <--GSUP--> MSC-B forwarding happens over the same GSUP connection
+ * as the VLR <--GSUP--> HLR link:
+ *
+ * OsmoMSC
+ * MSC-A <----------E-interface--->+--GSUP--> [IPA routing] ----E--> MSC-B
+ * ^ ^ (in osmo-hlr) \
+ * | (internal API) / \--D--> HLR
+ * v /
+ * VLR <------------D-interface-/
