Basic Station Protocol Support

[martin2250]

Hi,

it would be useful if the multiplexer could forward packets with the basic station protocol. The network side (so eg. connecting the multiplexer to TTN and chirpstack-gateway-bridge) is more critical, but the gateway side (gateway to multiplexer) would be nice too.

I assume it would be a considerable effort to implement, but it would also improve security.

In addition, it would be useful if the multiplexer could also directly send the ChirpStack common data-format to a (or multiple?) mqtt server(s). Maybe it would make sense to combine both the multiplexer and gateway-bridge, since they ultimately fulfill similar tasks in the stack?

I understand that this could be useful, but at this moment I do not have the bandwidth to implement this. As well, the Basics Station receives configuration from the LNS when it connects. There is no guarantee that all LNSes are using the same config.

In addition, it would be useful if the multiplexer could also directly send the ChirpStack common data-format to a (or multiple?) mqtt server(s).

This is already possible if you create a MQTT bridge between multiple MQTT brokers :)
