Hi, We are running v2010.05.07 and we have set a limit of 300KB nationwide. Yet, I regularly see messages well exceeding 300KB routed to MM4 IW routes. I can't find any MMS larger than 300KB when the recipient belongs to direct route. | |||

Hi Davor, How much larger? Message sizes can vary across different message formats. In particular, when a message gets transmitted over MM4, binary content (such as images), gets BASE64 encoded. I believe this adds 33% overhead. If memory serves me correctly, every 3 bytes of binary content become 4 bytes when it is BASE64 encoded. Does that sound like what you are seeing? -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Des, Well the largest exceeding is exactly 36.8%, so it could be BASE64 encoding. I will make a couple of practical tests and check the size on MM1 vs MM4 sides. Thank you for your help for now. | |||

Hi Des, I just made a thorough check of debug and Wireshark log and you are absolutely right about the source of the "problem". Thank you for your prompt answer. Case closed. |
