Hi,
I am not sure how that priority is used, but seems to be only for the SM/ASI
driver. kannel for its own internal queues has highest priority 3. Having
said that, there is also a protocol dependent priority which is transmitted
to the smsc. This is automatically handled by kannel based on each driver.
BR,
Nikos

Userguide is wrong.
3 is the highest priority.

Subject: top priority queue
Hi Nikos,
If you look at the latest SVN of the Kannel docs
http://www.kannel.org/download/kannel-userguide-snapshot/userguide.html
you
will see that under the section "Using the HTTP interface to send SMS
messages" it mentions: "priority number Optional. Sets the Priority value
(range 0-3 is allowed)" but does not say if 0 or 3 is the top priority.
Then under the section "SM/ASI (for CriticalPath InVoke SMS Center 4.x)"
the
user guide mentions: "priority number Optional, sets the default priority
of
messages transmitted over this smsc link. (Defaults to 0, which is the
highest priority)"
This would imply that Kannel sets 0 to be the highest priority queue, as
why
would Kannel have a 0 as top priority for one service and not for the
others.
You mention below in your email that "being 3 the highest and 0 the
lowest"
Please confirm what is the top and the lowest priority queue?
thanks

Subject: Re: Kannel queue with same priority is unpredictable
That's not correct. At least on SVN for a good time now, Kannel honors
priorities, being 3 the highest and 0 the lowest. That means that if
you
have a big queue of priority-1 messages and send one priority-2 or 3
message, it will get delivered before the rest of the queue.
The priority is also passed to the SMSC by means of SMPP's priority
flag,
but afaik most carriers ignore ESME settings for priority so do not
expect
it to work.
Regards,
Alex
