Description

When a GPRS-attached MS initiates a circuit-switched service (e.g. SS/USSD or SMS), OsmoSGSN logs the following:

DBSSGP NOTICE gprs_bssgp.c:556 BSSGP BVCI=0 Rx BVC STATUS, cause=Unknown BVCI
DBSSGP ERROR gprs_bssgp.c:563 BSSGP BVCI=0 Rx STATUS cause=Unknown BVCI missing conditional BVCI IE

As far as I understand, OsmoPCU sends BSSGP SUSPEND (BVCI=0) to OsmoSGSN, and gets BSSGP SUSPEND ACK (BVCI=0) from it. So then OsmoPCU realizes that BVCI=0 is now known for some reason, and sends BSSGP STATUS (BVCI=0) with cause "BVCI unknown (5)".

Please see an attached capture. OsmoSGSN is bound to 127.0.0.10:23000, OsmoPCU is at 127.0.0.1:23000.

BVCI=0 is the signaling BVCI, which always exists. This is different from the p-t-p
BVCIs which are explicitly brought up by UNBLOCK procedures and the like.

So claiming that BVCI=0 is unknown is wrong in any case. It is perpetual.
