RE: help with understanding opensmppbox
Yes thanks Saad and Alvaro, my build is the following: version `svn-r4865. Build `Feb 9 2012 04:35:47' Down are my configs, main.conf smsc.conf. Regarding Alvaro's email, I really don't see it sending to 2 operators or more simultaneously, because it takes long time to send to other operator while sending bulk SMSs to other, I also use smsc=SMSC1 in sendsms URL. I know I should implement priority in sendsms URL for better quality(bulk SMSs don't have to get there on specific times, but subscription packages' or competitions' do), or again back to installing to 2 bearerboxes 1 for bulk and 1 for normal SMSs. Regarding Saad's email, Yes I will try to increase my throughput on operator side or have another connection, but by the way using multiple SMSBoxes in this case wouldn't help, in my opinion, since the problem is with SMSs getting out of kannel not in it, which is what bearerbox does, I'm only sending Bulk to 1 operator ATM, but in future I'll be sending to others, so I know the problem will escalate. I was wondering if opensmppbox would help getting better performance, but things are still foggy as to what it does? how to configure it? If I run 1 or more opensmppboxes would they help sending SMSs faster than my poor old bearerbox! Below are my configuration files, and thanks greatly for everything. main.conf # group = core admin-port = 13000 smsbox-port = 13001 wapbox-port = 13012 admin-password = ** log-file = /var/log/kannel/bearer.log log-level = 3 #box-deny-ip = *.*.*.* #box-allow-ip = 127.0.0.1 box-allow-ip = *.*.*.* store-type = spool store-location = /var/spool/kannel/spool wdp-interface-name = * dlr-storage=mysql sms-resend-freq = 1 group = smsbox bearerbox-host = 127.0.0.1 sendsms-port = 13013 #sendsms-chars = 0123456789 +- log-level = 0 smsbox-id = internal #http-request-retry=5 mo-recode=true log-file = /var/log/kannel/smsbox.log access-log = /var/log/kannel/access.log include = /kannel/conf/SMSC.conf group = sms-service keyword=default accepted-smsc = SMSC1;SMC2; #keyword-regex = .* catch-all = yes max-messages = 0 get-url = http://Webserver-IP/%p_%b_%P_%i; omit-empty=yes group = sendsms-user username = username password = password concatenation = true max-messages = 7 group=smsbox-route smsbox-id = internal smsc-id=SMSC1;SMSC2; group = mysql-connection id= mykannel host= DB-IP username=user password=password database=DB group =dlr-db id=mykannel table = dlr field-smsc = smsc field-timestamp = ts field-source = source field-destination = destination field-service = service field-url = url field-mask = mask field-status = status field-boxc-id = boxc # smsc.conf # group=smsc smsc=smpp denied-smsc-id = SMSC2;SMSC3;** smsc-id=SMSC1 smsc-admin-id=SMSC1_Tx1 allowed-smsc-id=SMSC1 interface-version=34 host=IP port=PORT-NUMBER system-id=username smsc-password=password system-type=pc8446 transceiver-mode=0 dest-addr-ton=1 dest-addr-npi=1 source-addr-ton=5 source-addr-npi=0 log-file = /var/log/kannel/SMSC1_Tx1.log log-level = 3 group=smsc smsc=smpp denied-smsc-id = SMSC2;SMSC3; smsc-id=SMSC1 smsc-admin-id=SMSC1_Rx1 allowed-smsc-id=SMSC1 interface-version=34 host=IP system-id=user smsc-password=password system-type=pc8446 transceiver-mode=0 receive-port=16000 dest-addr-ton=1 dest-addr-npi=1 source-addr-ton=5 source-addr-npi=0 log-file = /var/log/kannel/SMSC1_Rx1.log log-level = 3 . # Amin. -Original Message- From: Alvaro Cornejo [mailto:cornejo.alv...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2012 4:59 PM To: Amin Mukhaimer Cc: Saad Omer; users@kannel.org Subject: Re: help with understanding opensmppbox Can you post configs?

Re: help with understanding opensmppbox
Hi As per your config; there is only one smsc: smsc1 with TX RX separate. You can try adjusting max-pending or max-troughput parameters. This might help in your througput. Check logs for trottling errors that might indicate you are maxing allowed throughput. Of course if you send more sms than allowed by your provider; there is little you can do. Less that kannel can do since it hanles its queue as a whole. Your best bet is in getting a better throughput from your provider(s) either in the same link or in separate ones. What we do is manage a queue/priority rutine outside kannel. Opensmsc will not help much either since it does not managa queues either.
