Description

In order to continuously test and use the AoverIP interface, we will need to split the NITB/MSC code and remove libbsc from it. Instead, add an AoIP interface that can talk to osmo-bsc. This will make the IuCS and the A/GERAN world align with each other and most likely mean we'll give up NITB altogether.

While this has definitely been ongoing for a long time, it's hard to set a meaningful percentage.
Recent progress includes separation of gprs, bsc and msc subscribers on the openbsc master branch,
and combination of the 3G with VLR efforts.

On the 3G branch (sysmocom/iu), there is an OsmoMSC, i.e. an OsmoNITB without a BSC, that talks
to IuCS and has code stubs to add an A-interface, which will talk to the BSC. This OsmoMSC will
become the new main circuit-switched solution from Osmocom. For now it can only do 3G.

The AoIP developments by dexter are progressing well, we may soon have a complete OsmoMSC, i.e. one that works for both 3G and 2G and allows us to split MSC and BSC for good.

Splitting into separate repositories is ongoing. The code itself is pretty much separated, and the remaining bits will be inherently taken care of by the issue about separate repositories: #2257
