Hi,

85 SMS/s sounds very low to be disk I/O limited. If in doubt bench with fakesmsc. It doesn't connect over the network, therefore no charges, but it does all the disk I/O of a real connection. The number you get out of it is the real number of your system. All other delays are your SMSCs.

100 SMS/s sounds high. Is this all for MT? MT + MOs? I imagine DLRs are excluded. What does your provider say?

I would raise threashold to 150, watch for threashold exceeded warnings and measure the throughput again.

BR,
Nikos

If disk IO might be the problem the iotop tool is an excellent way of
watching what processes and disk partitions may be causing a problem.

According to the man page, iotop requires Linux kernel 2.6.20 or later.
