+
+=== Local GTP-U entity and tunnel identification ===
+
+GTP-U uses UDP for transporting PDU's. The receiving UDP port is 2152
+for GTPv1-U and 3386 for GTPv0-U.
+
+There is only one GTP-U entity (and therefor SGSN/GGSN/S-GW/PDN-GW
+instance) per IP address. Tunnel Endpoint Identifier (TEID) are unique
+per GTP-U entity.
+
+A specific tunnel is only defined by the destination entity. Since the
+destination port is constant, only the destination IP and TEID define
+a tunnel. The source IP and Port have no meaning for the tunnel.
+
+Therefore:
+
+  * when sending, the remote entity is defined by the remote IP and
+    the tunnel endpoint id. The source IP and port have no meaning and
+    can be changed at any time.
+
+  * when receiving the local entity is defined by the local
+    destination IP and the tunnel endpoint id. The source IP and port
+    have no meaning and can change at any time.
+
+[3GPP TS 29.281] Section 4.3.0 defines this so:
+
+> The TEID in the GTP-U header is used to de-multiplex traffic
+> incoming from remote tunnel endpoints so that it is delivered to the
+> User plane entities in a way that allows multiplexing of different
+> users, different packet protocols and different QoS levels.
+> Therefore no two remote GTP-U endpoints shall send traffic to a
+> GTP-U protocol entity using the same TEID value except
+> for data forwarding as part of mobility procedures.
+
+The definition above only defines that two remote GTP-U endpoints
+*should not* send to the same TEID, it *does not* forbid or exclude
+such a scenario. In fact, the mentioned mobility procedures make it
+necessary that the GTP-U entity accepts traffic for TEIDs from
+multiple or unknown peers.
+
+Therefore, the receiving side identifies tunnels exclusively based on
+TEIDs, not based on the source IP!
+
+== APN vs. Network Device ==
+
+The GTP-U driver creates a Linux network device for each Gi/SGi
+interface.
+
+[3GPP TS 29.281] calls the Gi/SGi reference point an interface. This
+may lead to the impression that the GGSN/P-GW can have only one such
+interface.
+
+Correct is that the Gi/SGi reference point defines the interworking
+between +the 3GPP packet domain (PDN) based on GTP-U tunnel and IP
+based networks.
+
+There is no provision in any of the 3GPP documents that limits the
+number of Gi/SGi interfaces implemented by a GGSN/P-GW.
+
+[3GPP TS 29.061] Section 11.3 makes it clear that the selection of a
+specific Gi/SGi interfaces is made through the Access Point Name
+(APN):
+
+> 2. each private network manages its own addressing. In general this
+>    will result in different private networks having overlapping
+>    address ranges. A logically separate connection (e.g. an IP in IP
+>    tunnel or layer 2 virtual circuit) is used between the GGSN/P-GW
+>    and each private network.
+>
+>    In this case the IP address alone is not necessarily unique.  The
+>    pair of values, Access Point Name (APN) and IPv4 address and/or
+>    IPv6 prefixes, is unique.
+
+In order to support the overlapping address range use case, each APN
+is mapped to a separate Gi/SGi interface (network device).
+
+NOTE: The Access Point Name is purely a control plane (GTP-C) concept.
+At the GTP-U level, only Tunnel Endpoint Identifiers are present in
+GTP-U packets and network devices are known
+
+Therefore for a given UE the mapping in IP to PDN network is:
+  * network device + MS IP -> Peer IP + Peer TEID,
+
+and from PDN to IP network:
+  * local GTP-U IP + TEID  -> network device
+
+Furthermore, before a received T-PDU is injected into the network
+device the MS IP is checked against the IP recorded in PDP context.
