Our set-up uses a number of gateway providers (all via SMPP), and I would
particularly like to be able to measure their MT effectiveness in terms of:
* Speed of delivery
* Reliability of delivery (i.e. success rate)
One possible way to do this would be to send a bunch of messages out, all
with delivery reports on. Then monitor when the delivery reports are
received. [Whilst this isn't a particularly accurate method, it is at least
*a* method].
Does anyone have any experience of measuring MT gateway effectiveness?
Hi Keven
yes, there are more sophisticated methods using GSM modem pools with SIM cards
of the desired networks. They can be used to "monitor" the "success rate" and
also the latency, carrying the send date in message text to compare against
delivery time at device. Also DLR data is used to counter check the accurance
even of the DLR information and overall latency for networks.
Simply use a single or multiple GSM modem(s) for each network you want to
monitor. If you're using an aggregator as upstream, then you still need to
leaverage to a specific GSM network to relly on measurements.
I know several large companies that do these kind of measurements for vSMSC
operations and QOS assurance of upstream SMSC connections.
