Baptiste, well, it depends on our definition of "persistence". :-)

If we consider persistence to be the requirement that multiple [0]
connections be routed to one common back-end server [1], then strictly
speaking, the SMPP protocol [2] is non-persistent; each SMPP connection is
completely independent and does not share any "state" with any other connection.

Cheers! :-)
Ben.

    [0] TCP or whatever

    [1] because there is common knowledge (e.g. session state) that needs to
        be shared between multiple connections - yay for HTTP! - :-)

    [2] as I knew it, and how we used it
