Millions of requests per second? Someone added some extra zeroes just for fun I guess, or perhaps that figure was per _day_ instead?
Honestly, all those requests-per-second figures are completely meaningless out of context. There are too many factors involved in the outcome to make a realistic guess about an sms gateway's throughput. Usually the carrier's capabilities or your application's speed are the bottleneck. Network latency as well, but there are a lot of other factors into the equation (bandwidth, hardware, number of binds, other applications running on the same box, filesystem, hdd speed, etc, etc). In short: the only way to tell is to really test your setup for real. On my own experience, we achieved figures of hundreds of messages per second, and kannel was never the limiting factor: it's usually the applications not processing fast enough, or the smsc binds being limited by the carrier.
