Hi,
Benching kannel with fakesmpp, I was able to get ~740 MT/s (minimal SMS
size) with internal dlrs and 450 MT/s using dlr db, on a low-end 64bit
Solaris 10 with a dual-core AMD Opteron CPU @1218 uHz.
BR,
Nikos

Subject: Re: Use of Kannel for massive SMS Messaging?
We tested kannel with 120 sms/sec, the max limit our provider opened for us.
we are directly connected with one smsc only.
I think we can achieve more.

Hi
You can get a direct link to your carrier; but due to costs, you will
need a high volume per month to be cost effective; Also, you will need
to have one link per carrier since normally carriers will not forward
sms into their SMPP links to another carrier. They will do if usinf a
sim card (long code)
An option would be to work with an agregator.
You dont need to have any special multitheading for connect kannel to
several modems/links; kannel will doit for you, You only need to
define as much SMSC's in its configuration as yu need/have. As stated
below; I do have over 30 links with one bearerbox;
It is however possible to split your traffic between several kannel
instances/boxes.

Alvaro

Thank you very much Alvaro, excuse these 2 dumb questions:
1) If the carrier provides you with a contract, why can't they just
provide
you with an API and receive a text file, or a web service access, or even
a
dedicated T1, or anything that will take seconds to transfer all the
messages directly into the carrier's network? isn't it a better idea than
using 20 modems?
2) I have seen people having to employ sophisticated multi-threading to
handle 20 modems at the same time, granted, in .net... If I use
Linux/Kannel, will all I need is one Kannel session, with Linux handling
all
the multi-tasking?, or should I have to setup 20 concurrent Kannel
instances?
Many thanks

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.

Alvaro
