Description

As far as I know, libosmo-abis / openbsc currently open all timeslots of a E1/T1 interface, even those not actually needed/used.

We should make sure that the code really only opens those timeslots (sockets in mISDN, devices in DAHDI) that the BSC needs.

This is a pre-condition for a BSC-located PCU, as that PCU will want to open some of those timeslots for PCU TRAU frames.

at least for DAHDI it seems this is already the case, so this issue can actually be closed, I presume:

When activating a Um timeslot for PDCH, we could instruct the ICP to switch it to a completely different E1/T1 timeslot.
