Hi all,
My client is located in Africa while my server is located in the US.
Might anyone know what other issues I should look out for that could
be causing this long delays?
On my local test server, I get to sent 700+ messages per second but
not on the live one.
Do you mean that all the kannel (BearerBox,SMSBox/SQLBox) is in US and
your Africa Client just use their application to post to your SMSBox ?
If So, I think it's a matter of your client's Internet Bandwidth.
If you want to make a "local" test, you will need :
2x PC
1x Bandwidth limiter (You can use PC with Linux, or Mikrotik)
PC-A will emulate your client server/app
PC-B will be your kannel box.
Connect one ethernet of Bandwidth limiter directly to PC-A and another
one to PC-B
For extreme benchmark, set the limiter to limit connection betwen PC-A
and PC-B down to 32 kbps (kilo bits per sec)
Start to abuse your kannelbox from PC-A .. and look what it got.
Oh BTW .... what carier your client will use ? is it FiberOptic ? or is
it Satellite ?
If It is Satellite ... you need Kannel Developer to talk here ... since
satellite will need 600 ms delay for one way ...
