Greetings all... Boss man has asked me to do the legwork in setting up an SMS application.
We are expecting aproximately 1.2 million messages in a 12 hour period per day. And the ramp up to this level of transactions is expected to be pretty much non existant! Each message will require a database hit, transmission to another server, and a reply sent. From what I have seen Kannel will make our lives incredibly simple using the services. We are also looking for an aproximate 10 second or less turnaround on these transactions, 4 seconds being the ultimate goal. What I need to know is how well Kannel can handle the load. Do people out there have experience with VERY high volumes of traffic? What kind of performance can be expected? We have the co-operation of this particular carrier, so we will be plugged directly into the SMSC. I do foresee some sort of load balancing happening before the messages actually do get processed. Any help, experiences, tales of woe would be greatly appreciated. TTYL Derrick Bradbury Consultant Halex Technology Consulting Inc.
