M-plane support - explanation on needed parameters
- RU IP address - to connect to RUs via netconf - DU MAC address - for setting up the CU-planes on RU; not used in xran - VLAN tag (*) - for setting up the CU-planes on RU; not used in xran - DU keypair - for authentication when connecting to RU(s) The parameters that RU-controller shall retreive from RU list of capabilities: - MTU - compression - RU MAC address - PRACH offset (**) (*) VLAN tag is not used in xran but an option is given in fh_config struct. In my opinion, it is not a very suitable place, as it is needed for VFs. Therefore, I moved it in the initialization part for M-plane purposes. (**) PRACH offset shall be >= max(Ntx,Nrx), as per O-RAN CUS specification: "The O-DU may decide to use same eAxC ID value to address endpoints on different O-RUs, but eAxC ID values assigned to one O-RU must be unique within the O-RU’s endpoints of same direction." => however, LITEON supports flexible assignment of PRACH eAxC IDs, so we made a workaround in the xran library to support PRACH eAxC IDs same as PUSCH eAxC IDs.
