Kannel SMPP Client Queries

Question

I have got a Kannel configuration on Debian platform which is running perfectly fine.

My Query is what is maximum throughput (messages/sec) per connection which kannel supports.

Or

How to increase throughput of Kannel (SMPP server is ready to give me any throughput for my ESME Binding).

Part 2 I want to know what other smpp clients which have high throughput I can use on Debian or windows platform.

I checked some smpp.jar files online but not tried how to use them

My Ultimate goal is to have smpp client should be able to send more messages in a timeslot given.

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

With Kannel, you can increase the throughput using the configuration throughput on the smsc group in /etc/kannel/kannel.conf (on a default install). more info in the docs

You also have the option of increasing the window size (ie. the number of SMS pending submit_sm_resp) using the max-pending-submits configuration. The default for that is 10.

There are lots of options for SMPP libraries.. depending on your language of choice:

• Python - https://github.com/dmaclay/python-smpp
• PHP - https://github.com/onlinecity/php-smpp
• Java - https://code.google.com/p/jsmpp/

All of which can work on debian. However the problem is that most of what you will find are software libraries and you would have to build a client on top of them... so maybe not what you're looking for.

The options for high-quality but low-cost SMPP clients are severely limited in my experience!
