The adaption to make bsc_hack connect to osmo-bsc would be small and actually osmo-bsc is (almost) able to handle a connection locally and then move it to the external interface. > > Tobias and I have now discussed an alternative approach: Filtering.

Again, I don't know all the usecases and just have the approach I would take in mind. One (the only) issue I see is timers. E.g. we have timers for CC, SMS, etc. We want to stop, release the resources without releasing the connection. I assume leaking is a an allowed option for the fuzzing.
