The last time I used the SMPP protocol, it was carried over TCP, ergo HAProxy should be fine for load balancing. That said, however... way back when I used this protocol in anger, SMPP connections were very, very long-lived (days or weeks would pass between SYN-SYN/ACK-ACK and a FIN or RST). For those that have not heard of SMPP before, it is a protocol usually used to send bulk SMS messages. In practise, a single SMPP over TCP connection transfers thousands if not millions of SMS messages. You could consider it a "back-haul" protocol. In my humble opinion, unless the protocol and its use has dramatically changed over the last 10 years, Ahmed, if you need to load balance such long-lived TCP connections via HAProxy, you may want to re-think your system architecture. e.g. a simple DNS round robin setup Cheers! :-) Ben. -- Benjamin Lee mailto:[email protected] Melbourne, Australia http://www.realthought.net Linux / BSD / GNU tel:+61 4 16 BEN LEE Open Source "para nuestro mundo" __________________________________________________________________________ Why be difficult when, with a bit of effort, you could be impossible?
