Hi Guillaume,

yep, GSM is the limiting factor. But NOT for a protocol we use to get to the 
final SMSC.

Keep in mind that we're still ABOVE the signaling (SS7) layer. Ie. SMPP allows 
submit_sm PDUs with a payload more then the 140 octets.

 From an architectural point of view, we "could" pass a long message in whole to 
the SMSC, as it would be in charge to segment while switching from IP layer to 
signaling layer and hence hitting the "physical boundary".
