Compile

git clone https://github.com/free5gc/gtp5g.git && cd gtp5g
make clean && make

Install kernel module

Install the module to the system and load automatically at boot

sudo make install

Remove kernel module

Remove the kernel module from the system

sudo make uninstall

Check Rules

Get PDR/FAR/QER information by "/proc"

# if UPF used legacy netlink struct without SEID, need use #SEID=0 to query related info as below:
echo #interfaceName #SEID #PDRID > /proc/gtp5g/pdr
echo #interfaceName #SEID #FARID > /proc/gtp5g/far
echo #interfaceName #SEID #QERID > /proc/gtp5g/qer

cat /proc/gtp5g/pdr
cat /proc/gtp5g/far
cat /proc/gtp5g/qer

Enable/Disable QoS (Default is disabled)

Support Session AMBR and MFBR.

1. Check whether QoS is enabled or disabled. (1 means enabled, 0 means disabled)

   cat /proc/gtp5g/qos
   

2. Enable or disable QoS
   • enable

     echo 1 >  /proc/gtp5g/qos
     

   • disable

     echo 0 >  /proc/gtp5g/qos
     

Enable/Disable GTP-U Sequence Number (Default is enabled)

Support GTP-U Sequence Number.

1. Check whether GTP-U Sequence Number is enabled or disabled. (1 means enabled, 0 means disabled)

   cat /proc/gtp5g/seq
   

2. Enable or disable GTP-U Sequence Number
   • enable

     echo 1 >  /proc/gtp5g/seq
     

   • disable

     echo 0 >  /proc/gtp5g/seq
     

Log Related

1. check log

   dmesg
   

2. update log level

   # [number] is 0~4 
   # e.g. echo 4 > /proc/gtp5g/dbg
   echo [number] > /proc/gtp5g/dbg
