RE: scalability of kannel

using like mysql storage, both bearerbox can have access to the same dlr info,
using a common smsc identification as part of the key.
Therefor processing dlr on either box is no problem.

You can run as many SMS boxes and WAP boxes as you want on different machines
sharing the load of one bearerbox's traffic.
That's ok.

>Besides that, you can also pile multiple bearerbox/smsbox applications in
parallel
what is the interest to have more than one bearerbox in the same machine ?



none. You would run multiple bearerboxes on different machines connecting to the
same smsc for example. every one would handle the same keywords in parallel.


Is it possible to connect two bearerbox installed in two different machines to
the same smsc with the same account ?  for fault tolerance.



Depends a bit on the SMSC but basically yes.
in terms of MO processing this is no problem. Incoming SMS can be handled by
either bearerbox/smsbox bundle as long as the configs are the same.
in terms of MT processing, there should be two different accounts as the SMSC
might return a delivery report to the wrong machine otherwise. By using a
different account, you make sure the delivery report gets to the same machine
who submitted it.
