yep, I can confirm this as seen on some production (high load) systems.

The effect can be described as following:

- A SMPP connection that uses 'port' and 'receive-port' in the smsc group.
- Which means we have 1 TCP connection for the transmitter session, and 1 TCP
connection for the receiver session.
- Due to architecture design, a "smsc" can have only 1 state. Normally this
would be "online" internally, so the abstraction layer of bearerbox will
consider in it's routing decision this as a valid route.
- Now, the magic part: We get a so called "silent TCP teardrop", which means the
TCP connections are "semantically disconnected" by a middle router, but the TCP
end-points (server, client) don't get a corresponding TCP drop packet. In this
state we (Kannel) "believes" we're still connected. If we use enquire_link PDUs
to ensure we "are" connected, we will notice we're not and drop the TCP
connections, trying to re-establish the connection.
- The "fun" thing is: if the TCP teardrop happens only for the transmitter
session, the receiver session will still keep getting enquire_link_resp PDUs
back from the SMSC side and keep the overall module state in "online", and hence
the transmitter part is NOT re-establishing the connection.
- The result: we end up in a transmitter session that seems "online" from the
perspective of the abstractive bearerbox layer, so it WILL route MTs this way,
and we keep pushing them into the "lost sink".

What we need to check is the state handling here.

@Arne: is this pretty much the behavior you have also being faced with?
