Hi Zohar, there are no such guidelines. may be someone else can help from his past experience who has done much work into this.
But here is what i will do. Xml tags have corresponding octet value. So 1 XML tag may consume 10 chars/bytes(in plaintext) BUT it will be replaced with 1 octet/byte. Similarly, if you have url in your xml content, then http:// or http://www also have corresponding octet value. So, size is reduced drastically. So, the rough guess could be a. count your 1 tag as 1 octet. b. values can be considered as 1 octet but from/to numbers consume half as 2 digits constitute 1 octet. c. every string value is suffixed with 1 extra octet (NULL) and sometimes 1 octet as prefix also. d. add some octets for HEADER. Adding all 4 above will be MAX size your PDU should take. NOTE - Standard values also have their octet counterparts. like GPRS has value 49(right ??) Hope i didn't add much to the confusion you already have :-) Navjot Singh >-----Original Message----- >From: Zohar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 6:51 PM >To: Navjot Singh >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: WAP Push format > > >Any _estimation_ as to XML size -> SMS size(s) conversion ratio? > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Navjot Singh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Zohar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 2:53 PM >Subject: RE: WAP Push format > > >> take it this way. what you send to kannel is XML.
