Hi, Nope. You cannot limit client HTTP request from your smsbox. However, your architecture could be the problem. Are you sending MOs to get MTs? Can't you do it simply by an SMS-service? Have you considered using more than IIS servers for the job?

My Kannel server is able to handle high throughput for MO and MT traffic but the MO traffic hits a bottleneck when a high number of requests hit my business logic in the server which provides my content (IIS). My IIS business logic server ends up getting overwhelmed and has timeouts under high load because of the complexity of my business logic. This causes MOs to come in which don't get answered properly with an MT due to the timeouts on the IIS server. I was wondering if there was a way to tell Kannel to queue the requests up and limit them to say 10 per second so that I wouldn't have to build an intermediary queue myself. Thank you so much! -Scott
