Hi Nikos We already have all of messages load balanced by an upstream application. When the messages hit Kannel we are forcing them to go via a certain smsc using the smsc flag and the allowed-smsc-id in the config file. We have considered rather just letting Kannel do it but upstream application was used with another product previously which didn't load balance. We need to add Kannel to the existing mix and then phase out the others as our Kannel implementation becomes stable. So it is on the roadmap but is not urgent.
One thing that I may have noticed during my testing is that I can't seem to create a queue on a real smsc bind and not the fake one. If I set the throughput flag on to 0.05 (msg/sec, according to UG this is float value) and I then send some messages and check the status page I do not see a queue for that SMSC. If I look in the logs I see messages about the throughput being exceeded but it then seems to send anyway. Am I missing something? 2010-08-17 17:38:16 [4912] [6] DEBUG: SMPP[SMSC-XXX]: throughput (0.00,0.05) 2010-08-17 17:38:17 [4912] [5] INFO: Client connected from <127.0.0.1> 2010-08-17 17:38:17 [4912]
