i'm sure there's people with more experience than me out there, but at a previous company, we had a capacity on the line of 40msgs/s. burst tests at 40msgs/s showed that kannel is an extremely lightweight application. the spec of the machine was approx a PIII 800 and i think the CPU never got above 10%. mysql logging was not turned on and the only reason we ever restarted kannel was when we changed the config (i think the longest uptime we left it for was 4 months).
our issues were elsewhere in the system so as kannel was never a problem at 40 msgs/s, we never did true performance tests. wilf > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of derrickb > Sent: Saturday, 31 August 2002 7:14 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Kannel's Capacity > > > 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.
