Yes thanks Saad and Alvaro, my build is the following: "version `svn-r4865. Build `Feb 9 2012 04:35:47'"
Down are my configs, main.conf & smsc.conf. Regarding Alvaro's email, I really don't see it sending to 2 operators or more simultaneously, because it takes long time to send to other operator while sending bulk SMSs to other, I also use smsc=SMSC1 in sendsms URL. I know I should implement priority in sendsms URL for better quality(bulk SMSs don't have to get there on specific times, but subscription packages' or competitions' do), or again back to installing to 2 bearerboxes 1 for bulk and 1 for normal SMSs. Regarding Saad's email, Yes I will try to increase my throughput on operator side or have another connection, but by the way using multiple SMSBoxes in this case wouldn't help, in my opinion, since the problem is with SMSs getting out of kannel not in it, which is what bearerbox does, I'm only sending Bulk to 1 operator ATM, but in future I'll be sending to others, so I know the problem will escalate. I was wondering if opensmppbox would help getting better performance, but things are still foggy as to what it does? how to configure it? If I run 1 or more opensmppboxes would they help sending SMSs faster than my poor old bearerbox!

Kannel treats each smsc independently with its own queue each. Therefore it shouldn't wait to empty sms1 queue to send smsc2 msgs. if you know to which smsc a message should take before hand, you can add its id when posting it to kannel. i.e. If using smsbox adding "&smsc_id=smscx&..." I think there is something similar in sqlbox.

One kannel can handle multiple SMSC LAs, and you can even define absolute paths as well, which your SMS traffic will follow. Here is what you need to do to improve SMS sending timing: - Check the LA throughput from your operators. If they have allowed some low speed (like 5 messages/sec), there is no way you can send SMS with higher speed. For sending bulks like 100k or more, you should request the operator to provide you the speed of at least 30 SMS/sec for one LA, or multiple LAs with 5 SMS/sec (to get overall high speed). - Use SQLBOX and tweak your application to submit SMS directly to send_sms table, instead of sending via SMSBOX. - Configure kannel to use multiple operators. In SMSC configuration, use different IP and port for another connection. OR use multiple SMSBOXES for multiple connections. Multiple kannels is like worst solution for handling such thing. Besides, it will cause you a lot of reconcile problems. Let me know if I could help you anymore.
