If eg. PCRF or AAA diameter link is not yet ready (eg. PCRF crashed), and
a client sends a CreateSessionRequest announcing its ow F-TEID,
then open5gs-smfd answers with Create Session Response Cause=
"Remote peer not responding", but it is not setting the received F-TEID
in the header of the response, instead it sends with TEI=0.
As a result, the peer cannot match the CreateSessionResponse, and needs
to rely on its own timeout timer to figure out that specific request failed.
This also happens in PFCP, so to solve this problem, I added teid/seid_presence
to the interface that sends the error message as shown below.
void ogs_gtp2_send_error_message(ogs_gtp_xact_t *xact,
int teid_presence, uint32_t teid, uint8_t type, uint8_t cause_value);
void ogs_pfcp_send_error_message(
ogs_pfcp_xact_t *xact, int seid_presence, uint64_t seid, uint8_t type,
uint8_t cause_value, uint16_t offending_ie_value);
Expose metrics with labels according to ETSI TS 128 552 V16.13.0 in
UPF by using hash.
The metrics are named respecting the rule:
<generation>_<measurement_object_class>_<measurement_family_name>_<metric_name_as_in_TS_128_552>
5qi is not available in UPF.
To present 5qi to the user, MN will have to maintain a table qfi->5qi
for each QoS flow (will have to get information from SMF).
So UPF has to expose qfi. qfi itself is not useful. When used, UPF will
have to expose additional label to define the session (e.g. source
interface).
Label dnn is set to value of APN/DNN received in Establishment.
Since SMF does not add APN/DNN to Establishment, the label is empty.
When APN/DNN will be set by SMF, it should be added to sess in UPF
and used in metrics on Modification and Deletion.
Both datavolumeqosleveln3upf are exposed in bytes.
MN is providing the transformation to kbits.
fivegs_upffunction_upf_qosflows should expose the number of QFIs used in
sessions, but exposes number of QER rules, which is currently equal to
QFIs.
The label snsssai is not provided since the slice is not available on UPF.
Exposed metrics example:

Nonstandard gauge (added for controlling purposes -
same metric as existing metric on AMF and SMF):
fivegs_upffunction_upf_sessionnbr 1
Standard gauge:
fivegs_upffunction_upf_qosflows{dnn=""} 1
A problem occurred when there was one SGWU/UPF and multiple SGWC/SMF.
When SGWU and UPF create a session, if the SEID is the same,
the existing session information is used without creating an additional session.
These problems were solved by using the F-SEID including IP information
in the process of checking the existing session.
All process will be forcely exited if it failed to encode the S1AP/NGAP/GTP/PFCP message. It is to make sure there was no problem with the encoding of open5gs.
- Set the number of UEs in units of AMF/MME instead of gNB/eNB.
- See default value as shown below
Number of UEs per AMF/MME : 4,096
Number of gNB/eNB per AMF/MME : 32
