Hi, I don't think any operator let you send the priority parameter to their SMSC through SMPP, if yes, they will override your value in any case. What I suggest to you is to put all your regular traffic as lowest priority and so your "emergency" sms with higher priority. I already using this in Kannel and it is working perfectly whatever we got lot sms in queues.
Hope thath helps !

This parameter seems to be passed "as is" to the underlying protocol. If I have thousand of messages queued on "my side", there won't be any difference setting the priority field. Am I wrong? Anybody can throw some light on this? BTW, I've found an error on the comments on the source code: /* check for any specified priority value in range [0-5] */ if (cfg_get_integer(&priority, grp, octstr_imm("priority")) == -1) priority = SMPP_DEFAULT_PRIORITY; else if (priority < 0 || priority > 3) panic(0, "SMPP: Invalid value for priority directive in configuraton (allowed range 0-3)."); [0-5] should say [0-3] :) (Sorry this snippet should have gone to the devel list) Regards, Alejandro On 9/13/07, info.ubichip <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > To answer your Q1 and Q4:as far as I know, the priority parameter interact > directly with the kannel queue, that means a message with a higher priority > is sent quicker than previous one.
