Can someone suggest me the below requirements:
1. I want to test S6a interface so what are the best possible testing tools available. Open source are highly preferable
2. I want to test S5/S8 interface so what are the best possible testing tools available. Open source are highly preferable

Chinmoy, we (LCN) have S6a/S6d implementation. It is a commercial product. But we offer evaluation license, so you will be able to use it for 1-2 months without buying license, for testing.
Our focus is Diameter and interfaces, and we offer a sample client and server (with C code). But client just sends dummy requests (syntactically complete and correct) and server sends a response. If you are looking for serious MME/HSS simulation, we don't have it. Interface is complete, though.

If this is of interest, let me know.

S5/S8: No.

As per LTE core network architecture, MME shares S11 interface with SGW and SGW has S5/S8 interface with PGW.
I went through Create Session Response message sent by SGW to MME and found PGW-C and PGW-U tunnel ids.
I want to know what MME does with these PGW-C and PGW-U tunnel Ids ?

Hi all

Because combined S-GW/P-GW is one node, so do we still need to implement the connection between them?
Is it necessary for core network to implement GTP-based or PMIP based S5/S8 interface if it is combined S-GW/P-GW?

Is there any 3GPP spec mention about combined S-GW/P-GW? what is the cons and reasons to do this?

thanks
