Aarno has benchmarked an sms based installation to handle around 300-350 msg/sec, which would result in a day total limit of almost half a million. Usually your smsc connections will never reach that kind of limits. 256 MB RAM should be suitable if the machine is not handling to much other things.

Aarno, what do you mean of this? Did you recognize anything at your benchmark testings? I understood the others were thinking of some malloc function. Those are system calls and probably locked for exclusive use in a process. Meaning the many multiple threads have to wait on each other. This is just theory, nothing I tested or so. Therefore, I used 'just a thought'. This is an idea Lars had during Wapit time. Yes, it would help, dark though then that best way to boost Kannel performance is making it do less memory allocations. If this is handled by a new memory wrapper, so that there is no need to change code outside this module, the change is even practical. Aarno

RE: version 1.1.6 processing limits
if you want to use the native malloc, then configure it with malloc=native. I don't know what the memory limit is in native malloc, but I assume there are none. if you are using a checking malloc, and want to use a bigger memory pool then you'll have to change the malloc code in gwlib/gwmem-check.c and then recompile with that. it has no relevance to the ammount of physical memory available at compile time. -- Oded Arbel m-Wise Inc.
