1. I think Kannel does support Keep-Alive connections. Not sure about the server side, but I think it does. Just make sure your client also supports it.
2. Yes, probably SQL Box does insert 1,000,000 a lot faster than you can do by http. Question is if your upstream providers handle such a rate. You will end up with a lot of pending messages in the bearerbox queue. == Rene -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:users-boun...@kannel.org] On Behalf Of Cliff Court Sent: dinsdag 21 april 2015 10:11 To: users@kannel.org Subject: Fastest method to insert a million MT messages to Kannel Hi All I have set up Kannel with bearerbox and smsbox, which is working and I am writing dlr's to a mysql db. Currently I am submitting messages using a sendsms GET or xml-based POST, as per the Kannel documentation. However, using individual http GET or POSTs for each message is relatively slow when needing to send a large volume of messages. Let's assume I have a 100 msgs/sec connection to an external SMSC using SMPP from bearerbox, which will take ~3 hours to send 1 million MT messages. So my question is what is the fastest method to submit messages to bearerbox to send a million MT messages? I have seen that SQLbox is available and that one can insert messages into the send_sms table for faster submission, but I'm wondering what is the fastest method of submission to bearerbox? Thanks Cliff
