20k SMS will take few seconds then why worry about the sequence since DLR is not available and operator is not going to obey your sequnce/order at all.

But enabling DLR with remote SMSC comes at the cost of reducing the overall SMS sending speed by half. Meaning, if I have a bandwidth of 100 SMS/sec, enabling DLR will actually give me 50 SMS/sec effective speed, with remaining speed being taken by DLRs. Additionally, DLR handling will put more load on my DB, as well as additional application DB reads (for checking status 8). On paper, it seems like more performance sacrifice than the gain.

A possible solution is to send message 2 whenever the dlr with status = 8 arrives. You don’t need a sleep then and you will be sure that the message has been sent out before sending the next one. Just an idea. == Rene From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: dinsdag 12 november 2013 15:51 To: Rene Kluwen Cc: spameden; kannel users Subject: Re: SQLBOX working - LIFO or FIFO This is OK if SMSC does the re-ordering for congestion or some other reasons. But my concern is that messages should at least leave bbox in the same order by which they left the application. Since kannel is not giving me a proper method to sequence the messages, I am forced to use SLEEP method in PHP programming. It is hanging my server horribly in the presence of big traffic, choking both HTTP web server connections as well as backend database. I would be happy to find some/any method to maintain the sequence of msgs in kannel in FIFO order.

The remote smsc may still send out message 2 first, even when they received message 1 first.

I think it serves for the purpose that you want to. Just it’s you cannot set it in the send_sms table. Not sure why, but probably the field was added later. It shouldn’t be difficult to add though if anyone wants to send in a patch. == Rene From: users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: dinsdag 12 november 2013 15:28 To: spameden Cc: kannel users Subject: Re: SQLBOX working - LIFO or FIFO Actually, if my understanding is correct (i.e. SQLBOX is already doing the right thing by giving messages in FIFO order to bbox, but bbox is shuffling the outgoing messages from within its buffer), then there is no point of adding priority column. What do you say?

Do not forget to add an index as well or it might slow things down! 2013/11/12 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: > Hi, > > Many thanks.
