BTW check the User's guide p 28 group smsc:

throughput    # (messages/sec)

  Best case would be someone really familiar with the code, to recognise the 
issue just from your description (that's not me).

  Otherwise, IMHO one important issue is to reproduce it at lab conditions. I 
have written a C multithreaded wap client which I have used to benchmark/stress 
test kannel cvs. I am working on a similar for PPG. I have observed nothing 
like that in wapbox or bearerbox. Currently I am not interested in SMS, so I 
have no plans to develop any load generators.

  Typical settings used are 1000x1000, i.e. 1000 threads X 1000 requests each. 
If you were to feed such an input to a disconnected smsbox, it should show 
immediately. In the lab one can use a lot of tools to detect memory leaks.

    Subject: Kannel memory Leak and throttling issue


    I’m trying to find out if we can throttle the messages per second rate that 
Kannel submit’s to the provider.    

     

    Also, related to this is that our SMSC disconnects us when we’ve exceeded 
our throttle, and Kannel stores these messages that it can’t send.  At this 
point it seems, , kannel’s Virtual memory just increases until the OS causes 
the system to crash. 

     

     So the problem is two fold: when kannel can’t send messages (because the 
SMSC’s throttle has been exceeded), it’s holding them and trying again, and 
that retry seems to have a memory leak which causes the system to crash.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks
