Hello Bryce, is there a way to make OUT message faster. the Q folder is full of messages, I have an SMPP connection of 40 MSG/SEC and the rate about 1.5 msg/sec. I have tried to set 2WaySMSThreadCount in SMSGW.INI but cannot see any progress or better case. Is there a way to make OUT messages sending faster.. if you note SMS-IN its perfect in proccssing incomming messages. Please let me know what you think Regards, | |||

Hi Gambia, The 2WaySMSThreadCount has no relation to outbound message processing ... it is related to inbound message processing, specifically the number of threads that are allocated for simultaneous processing of the "2-way" commands. For maximum speed with outbound SMPP connections, you should make sure that the "Async mode" is configured for the SMPP connection, and you need to declare a window size. This is defined under "Advanced Settings" for the SMPP connection in NowSMS. There is no recommendation for the window size, as it requires experimentation and really depends on the SMSC that you are connecting to. If you set the window size too high, you might end up with submission errors. (And you may also find that the SMSC does not support async mode.) Basically, without async mode, NowSMS waits for an acknowledgement from the SMSC before submitting the next message. With async mode, NowSMS will allow up to the window size number of messages to be sent to the SMSC while waiting for the SMSC to acknowledge receipt. You generally need to use async mode to get better than 3 to 5 messages per second (but sometimes you need it at lower speeds, depending on latency of the connection to your SMSC and performance quirks of that SMSC). Another issue is that if all of your messages are being submitted with delivery receipt requested, this will drastically slow down message submission. Improvements in this area have been made with the latest update for NowSMS 2006, with further enhancements planned in another update in the next several months. -bn | |||
