Hi,

I had more or less the same question something like 2 years ago, and guess 
what, to date still no reply whatsoever. I'd think the plugin's developer is 
untraceable and/or "out of duty".
Now back to the question, if I didn't misunderstood this GTPU plugin's 
semantics (by reading the code), this plugin doesn't operate as you'd expect 
from a mobile 3GPP point of view, it actually operates very similarly to how 
VXLAN does.
What this plugin does is mainly implementing a *VTEP (Virtual Tunnel Endpoint)* 
, so its tunnel interface (i.e. gtpu_tunnelX ) needs an IP address on the same 
subnet of the actual destination of the encapped packet (i.e. the T-PDU).
I know, it's somewhat confusing, but I studied and tried it, and I can confirm 
that it works this way. If you still want to really understand and use it, I'd 
suggest you to learn how VXLAN works and its terminology (if you don't know it 
yet), it'll be a lot easier for you to grasp this plugin's operation.
