Hi The real throughput will depend on MANY factors so it is diffcult to give you a number; but in general, the bottle neck is -using a medium hardware- the carrier.
We have over 30 "SMSC" connected to my kannel box. AT, SMPP, Http, agregators, propietary ones, etc with no problems. We do have over 20 modems connected to a single kannel machine through some terminal servers. The troughput of them is in average of 480-500sms/hr We do have special plans with the carriers to send high volume of sms through them, so we have no problems with the carriers blocking the sims.
