Hi Govind,

I'm NOT one of the GTPu maintainers, but I do work on a UPF implementation
based on VPP.

The GTPu plugin is IMHO mostly useless and broken by design in its current
state. It assumes that TEIDs are symmetric which they never are in real
3GPP settings.
There is an outdated change in gerrit (https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/13134
) that corrects that and other deficits.

AFAIK there is no GTP-C control interface that can control the GTP-U plugin
through VPPs binaries API. Only static tunnels through the CLI are doable
(I have not tested that myself). A real PGW/GGSN is therefore not doable.

The plugin also has no support for 3GPP compliant charging and QoS. This
would be a major problem in case you want to evaluate performance as those
areas are the ones that introduce the highest complexity. Performance tests
on pure GTP encap/decap are IMHO useless for real world GTP use cases.

Regards,
Andreas
