-=== About OsmoGGSN
-
-OsmoGGSN is a Free / Open Source Software implementation of the GPRS
-GGSN (Gateway GPRS support node) element in side the packet switched
-core network of 2G and 3G cellular networks.
-
-The GGSN function is the tunnel endpoint on the core network side,
-from where the external (IP) packet data network
-
-=== Software Components
-
-==== GTP Implementation (libgtp)
-
-The OsmoGGSN source code includes a shared library implementation of
-the GTP protocol used on the GGSN-SGSN interface. This library
-and associated header files are installed system-wide and are
-available to other programs/applications.
-
-In fact, libgtp is what the OsmoSGSN also uses for its use of GTP.
-
-==== sgsnemu
-
-In order to test OsmoGGSN without running a SGSN and other elements
-of a cellular network, there is a small command-line utility called
-*sgsnemu* which is able to simulate the customary operations of a SGSN
-towards the GGSN, such as a PDP Context Activation.
-
-*sgsnemu* can even be used for testing against other GGSNs, as the GTP
-protocol is standardized across implementations.
-
-==== osmo-ggsn
-
-*osmo-ggsn* is the actual name of the OsmoGGSN executable program. It
-implements the GGSN functionality. All parameters are set using the
-configuration file, by default located in *./osmo-ggsn.cfg*
-
-==== systemd service file
-
-In *contrib/osmo-ggsn.service* you can find a sample service file for
-OsmoGGSN which can be used with systemd.
-
-==== init script
-
-In *contrib/osmo-ggsn.init* you can find a sample init script to be used
-on systems with classic init process.
-
-=== Limitations
-
-OsmoGGSN supports both GTP0 (GSM 09.60) and GTP1 (3GPP 29.060). In the
-following tables the support of each individual message type is
-detailed. The numbers before each feature indicates the relevant
-section in the standard.
