Hi Andreas, Pablo, Jonas,

I think that the SGSN/GGSN role flag (or whatever it may end up being
called) logically belongs in the gtp-device at this point, and will in
the future belong to the UDP/GTP-socket (with Andreas' proposed
changes).   Having it per-pdp-context indeed seems odd and just provide
a way to create broken configurations (and increase the memory use per
pdp context, of which you have many more than netdevs or gtp-sockets).
