GTP Overview

If you are interested in GTP protocol then you should know where all we are using GTP protocol and the usage of this protocol.

GTP is a GPRS tunneling protocol which will be used between different interface of LTE, UMTS etc network. This is basically a tunneling protocol to handle Signalling and data path between the core network of LTE or UMTS.

There are different service of GTP such as GTP-C, GTP-U and GTP-Prime(GTP`).

GTP-C will be used for signalling protocol between different interface like s11, s5, s8 interface of LTE network.

The different messages of GTP-C are Create Session Request, Create Session Response etc.

GTP-U will be used for data path handling between different interface like s1-U, s5-U, s8-U of LTE network.

GTP-prime will be used for data record handling between different interface of UMTS network.
