Thanks.
It turns that priority queue in kannel is dtermined both by SMS priority and
age of sms. I.e. if 2 sms have the same priority, the older one gets the
call (FIFO). It is also implemented only in SMPP, EMI & at.

That's not correct. At least on SVN for a good time now, Kannel honors
priorities, being 3 the highest and 0 the lowest. That means that if you
have a big queue of priority-1 messages and send one priority-2 or 3
message, it will get delivered before the rest of the queue.
The priority is also passed to the SMSC by means of SMPP's priority flag,
but afaik most carriers ignore ESME settings for priority so do not expect
it to work.

Hi,
Priority is not used by kannel. It is part of the SMPP spec and is passed to
receiving SMSc. Queue is FIFO, subject to constraints like sms-resend-freq
and sms-resend-retry. If in doubt check store-queue from http admin.

Subject: Kannel queue with same priority is unpredictable
Hi All,
I have a very large queue with all the messages in the queue and the new
incoming messages from the smsbox are with the same priority. The problem is
that new messages get delivered earlier than the ones already queued. I have
no idea what sort of queue it is? Is it a FIFO queue or the kannel just
tries to send the messages from the smsbox directly if possible and if not
then the message is queued? Please note that all the messages are at the
same priority!
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Waqas
