Cellular Network Infrastructure » OsmoMGW

RFC3435 2.1.3.2 "Names of Connections" defines the "I:" Connection Identifier as hex stream.
Hence it is valid for a client to omit leading zeros from Connection Identifier returned by a CRCX response.

OsmoMGW currently generates fixed-length Connection Identifiers and quite possibly includes leading zeros.

When testing this against a particular SCCPlite MSC, I see that in a DLCX to cleanup after a CRCX that returned an ID with leading zeros, this MSC in fact omits the leading zeros, leading to a mismatch and DLCX failure.

osmo-mgw should match despite a differing number of leading zeros in the conn ID:

• ignore leading zeros in the DLCX "I:" parameter, and
• ignore leading zeros in the locally generated connection identifier.
