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
