Yep kannel can handle the MT traffic for sure we run kannel on HP DL-380 dual Xeons, the bios makes them 4 .. :)
piece of advice: do not hesitate to set up load balancing fot the HTTP requests. We run postgresql set up for 1000 concurent connections, but the Apache cource needs to patched for the BIG concurent connections ... so the best solution is you set up several services, each of them call different apache instance .. even different apache on different boxes :) i serve the eurovision voting contest the last three years .. so one more advice based on my bad experience make sure the SMSC has set the right time .. just let them ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov or similar time host two years before one of the operators SMSC was like 15 minutes ahead , so almost the half of the traffic has been sonsiderer non real. :) good luck with the voting. seik , we were serving eurovision voting the last several years On Fri, Feb 02, 2007 at 03:39:13PM +0200, ???????? ????????????? wrote: > Dear all > > > We have agreed to take on the preliminary voting for > Eurovision contest.
