Draft: SCTP problems: allow to bind separate F1-C/F1-U interfaces; allow to use DNS (!2635) · Merge requests · oai / openairinterface5G

Robert Schmidt requested to merge fix-sctp-f1 into develop Mar 21, 2024

revert commit to fix issue #727 (closed)
introduce new option to bind on a separate address for F1U; if not specified, will reuse F1C; fix in CI; add doc
rewrite SCTP functions to use C's getaddrinfo() to look up DNS names. This also allows to IPv6, but more work in the stack is necessary to fully use IPv6 (C-plane works, U-plane doesn't)
remove all interface name config options (are not used), remove ipv6 config options (handled through ipv4)
