Nikos,
You are right if we are talking only about kannel's behavior. Bear in
mind that kannel have to create thousands http requests. many of them
will be hanging and waiting to be processed by http server. Also, if
http and mysql server coexist on the same machine that is going to
consume all the system resources which will dramatically slow down the
kannel.

Hi,
I don't think that this will solve your problem. If it were an
application issue, it would build up kannel's queue, not the SMSc's.
SMSc's queue can build up only from dropped connections. These would
be shown in your bearerbox logs. Sorry, Cezary.
BR,
Nikos

Ok, that makes it more clear.
From my experience I can say that kannel->xttpd->php->mysql way alsways
makes some problems if is designed in wrong way.
How do you run your php script under http server? Run it using fastcgi
and keep persistent connection with the DB. Don't share the db
connection across fastcgi processes - use one connection per fastcgi
process.
Your delphi application does it, right?
My application written in Perl, running under lighttpd in fastcgi (with
5-10 concurrent processes) mode can easly handle 150sms/s on one
machine.

All MOs are stored via a php script to the same mysql table for

Hi,
How do you store MO messages? Maybe there is a bottleneck?

Hi Nikos,
I'm referring to MO traffic. It only affects incoming SMS. We run
separate
TX and RX and operator does not offer transceiver mode. We don't
have any
logs that indicate slow speed, though traffics backs up at operator's
end.
When I call them, they insist that it is my application that is not
'picking' messages fast enough from their SMSC. Funny thing is the
inhouse
app clears the messages in a heartbit.

Hi,
Kannel doesn't "retrieve" SMS from the operator. Operator sends
them to
kannel. Throughput doesn't affect incoming traffic, only outgoing
and not
*_resp pdus. Are you referring to MO traffic or MT (DLRs)? It is
difficult
to help you without any kind of logs. Since there is back log at your
operator, what do his logs say?
There is an issue with separate Tx/Rx connections in kannel. If
only 1 of
the 2 drops, while the other is working, kannel doesn't realize it to
reconnect both ends. You might try transceiver mode for that.

Nikos

Hi guys,
We've been running a campaign averaging 350,000 messages a day.
Lately I
noticed kannel does not retrieve them as fast as it needs to hence a
backlog builds on the operator's end. This is only affecting one of
the
operators. On calling them, they insisted that it is Kannel which
determines
how many RX messages to pull. I tried an old SMPP client software I'd
written in Delphi and it cleared all the backlog in less than 5
mins and
continues to do so in real time. All data is dumped into the same
mysql
table. I've tried using throughput in kannel with no success. I've
even
opened upto 15 channels to the same operator without success.
What could be the issue? How can I speed up my intake of messages?
Distraught,
TR
