Just when I thought my life has become easy I see a new revision of 3GPP Release 8. It just cant get any more frustrating.
The idea was 3GPP Release 8 would freeze in Dec 2008 and there will be a bug fix version of it in March 2009. Oh no no, March doesnt have all the fixes, there comes a new revision in June. And guess what, GTP-C header has changed a bit. Seq no is now 3 bytes long and spare is 1 byte long (it was 2 and 2 respectively in march). Is it a good idea to jump on to june version of the specs now? or will have a new version of spec in next couple of months? any more bug fixes? Darn! I hate software.
Hey, does anybody know how to keep track of it these changes or 3GPP guys just meet when ever they feel like and bring out the new spec? I searched the entire 3GPP web site but couldn't get the details I wanted.
If you feel the same frustration I am feeling comment saying frustrated, if you are irritated say irritated. :) (Just kidding!)
FreeRadius + 3GPP Radius Part 2 next.

Oh!
Seq No. Become 3 bytes from 2? So we have to use long instead of short to store it.
We can be member of 3GPP and keep getting mails about discussion, review, comments etc.
