Per the kannel status page above, I have 2 SMSC connections directly to
operator. Connection1 (smsc-mo for broadcast messages) is configured for a
throughput per second (TPS) of 70 by operator, Connection 2 (smsc-mt for
Charging MT), TPS of 60. The kannel config file is pasted below:
I have 2 questions:
1. As observed above I am only sending only 20 msg per second, yet the BB
queue for smsc-mo has started to build up. It only goes down after if I reduce
the sending rate from the application or stop sending for a while. The
operator insists I have 70 TPS. If this true, what settings in my kannel
configuration file may be causing BB queue to grow, even when I am no where
close the TPS configured by the operator. Asked differently, what settings can
I change to improve the performance and reach the capacity configured for the
connection without getting queue build up.
2. Smsc-mt is used for MT billing. It appears the only SMS that are delivered
to phones which have sufficient airtime balance are counted as sent in kannel's
counter. The outbound sending rate also does not reflect The traffic on the
Smsc-mt connection. I expect all messages that leave kannel Via that connection
to counted as part of the statistics but is clearly not the case. Is this a
kannel bug?
Thanks
