Hi, I'm facing some problems with carrier's connections due to limited throughput on their part.
It's not really a kannel problem, the SMSC connection has a lower throughput, so at peak hours we experience message queueing. The problem is, we need some messages to get sent as soon as posible, but when we have thousands of messages queued for delivery there's a significant delay (it may be hours from the time of queueing). So my question is: is there any way to handle individual message's priority at sending time? My goal is to be able to enqueue some messages with "critical" priority and they should be sent asap. I've checked the user guide and found the "priority" parameter: priority number Optional. Sets the Priority value (range 0-3 is allowed). This leads to some questions: 1. Do this parameter affect the queuing of outgoing messages inside kannel as I expect it to be, or it's just a parameter being passed as part of the PDU? 2. Which priority gets set by default if the paremeter is missing? 3. Which one is the highest (zero I guess?) 4. Does it work for SMPP and HTTP connections as well? Thank you in advance, Alejandro. -- Alejandro Guerrieri Magicom http://www.magicom-bcn.net/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/aguerrieri
