RE: Kannel Routing and Performance Issues !

have you 'allowed-smsc-id' directives in the smsc groups?!

If no, then Kannel will simply pick the first one that is considered
online.

I don't think so. I guess your internet connection itself is not the
limiting factor. I guess it's more to the SMSC provider itself.

The fastes we got was 55 msg/sec. to O2 (Germany). All others are
performing less. So it's not a limitation of Kannel. Kannel can deal
with a *lot* more.

First of all, if you use 1.2.1 stable, you may consider upgrading to
current cvs tree, which is almost 1.3.2-pre (hence 1.3.2 will be
released shortly).

We have cvs tree running on our production servers with 307 links in 3
instances, performing very reliable.
