KSMPPD (alternative Kannel SMPP server) now available

Hi everyone,

I have been working in telecommunications for a while and I've come across
both OpenSMPPBox and commercial SMPPBox in my career. These are both
excellent pieces of software but I found certain limitations repeated
themselves in large scale deployments (large numbers of ESMEs, massive
amounts of queues, etc).

This is why I decided to make my own attempt at a free and open source SMPP
server which works with Kannel (connects to bearerbox and/or sqlbox). I
won't go into too much detail in this initial email but just that the code
and readme is now available at https://github.com/kneodev/ksmppd

As it stands it features database driven authentication + routing (MySQL
only currently) and also HTTP based authentication + routing as options. It
is fully asynchronous during the routing chains and also makes use of
libevent so it is not limited to a thread per ESME.

If anyone wishes to contribute code to this - please let me know. I'd
happily contribute this to the Kannel foundation but I think it deviates
too much from the principals of the current box mechanisms (billing, etc).

Enjoy (I hope).
