/* These are the interfaces of the MSC layer towards (from?) the BSC and RNC,
 * i.e. in the direction towards the mobile device (MS aka UE).
 *
 * 2G will use the A-interface,
 * 3G aka UMTS will use the Iu-interface (for the MSC, it's IuCS).
 *
 * To allow linking parts of the MSC code without having to include entire
 * infrastructures of external libraries, the core transmitting and receiving
 * functions are left unimplemented. For example, a unit test does not need to
 * link against external ASN1 libraries if it is never going to encode actual
 * outgoing messages. It is up to each building scope to implement real world
 * functions or to plug mere dummy implementations.
 *
 * For example, msc_tx_dtap(conn, msg), depending on conn->via_iface, will call
 * either iu_tx() or a_tx() [note: at time of writing, the A-interface is not
 * yet implemented]. When you try to link against libmsc, you will find that
 * the compiler complains about an undefined reference to iu_tx(). If you,
 * however, link against libiu as well as the osmo-iuh libs (etc.), iu_tx() is
 * available. A unit test may instead simply implement a dummy iu_tx() function
 * and not link against osmo-iuh, see tests/libiudummy/.
