OsmoMSC originated from the OsmoNITB project, which started as a minimalistic all-in-one implementation of the GSM Network. In 2017, OsmoNITB had reached maturity and diversity (including M3UA SIGTRAN and 3G support in the form of IuCS and IuPS interfaces) that naturally lead to a separation of the all-in-one approach to fully independent separate programs as in typical GSM networks.
OsmoMSC was one of the parts split off from the old openbsc.git.
