Have you tried to emulate ESME connecting and disconnecting to SMPPbox?

Sorry, forgot to copy the list:
Yes, if your problem is that open smppbox stalls every 10 messages, then I
found it.
If you want, apply the attached patch to smppbox and try again.
About broken pipes and PDU unpacking failed: I have not been able to
reproduce this as of now.
I tried to submit 10,000 messages and no sign of any problem. To be
continued.

Dear Rene,
Hopefully the problem you found was the problem I encountered ;). Just to
say, my smppbox/kannel stalls for definitely more than a second.
Did you also get the same error and warning messages such, as broken pipe
and PDU unpacking failed?

I did find the problem why open smppbox would send 10 messages and then
stall for a second.
Thanks to Nikos fakesmpp stress test, I could isolate the problem quite
quickly.
Updated code will be available after next open smppbox update (see other
thread of Victor Luchitz).

Subject: RE: smppbox bulk sms: slow reception from a client
I am using ALT.SMS.SmppClient. It connects to my smppbox over smpp protocol
and tries to inject bulk sms. Then it disconnects and connects again in a
while for deliveries.
Do you think it can be from my smpp client? It works fine when I send only a
single sms through kannel/smppbox. When I have more sms it keeps stalling.
But I also tried to use the same
ALT.SMS.SmppClient with NowSMS demo and it worked just fine with bulk
messages.
Has anybody succeeded with sending bulk sms through smppbox/kannel? If yes,
could you please tell me what smpp client you are using? Or perhaps there is
something wrong
with my configuration files.

Was just looking at your log files again.
What SMPP client is your ESME running? Also Kannel?

I am using gateway (svn) revision 4837 and smppbox (svn) revision 31. I
tried also smppbox revision 33. Still the same. I haven't though tried
another kannel version.
Do you think it can be from the kannel version?

Just a long shot: By chance, did you compile with another Kannel version
that you are executing?
What kind of (svn) version of smppbox are you using? And which Kannel
version?

Hi,
I kept playing around with the configuration files but still no luck. Today
I tried to send 20 sms to smppbox but my smppbox or kannel kept stalling
again.
My system receives some 6 sms from my client and than it stalls for 1 minute
or so before it continues receiving the rest. Moreover, my client does not
receive all the deliveries back. It gets some 12 out of 20. I checked my log
files and I noticed several error and warning messages. In my smppbox.log I
get the following error and warning messages periodically.

Most of all the error about the "Broken pipe" alerts me, I don't know what

I don't know if that can be the reason.

Onlly 10 sms is nothing of course. I wouldn't even call it bulk sms.
Is there anyone else with the same problems? Because if so, it seems a
serious enough issue to look into.
