Dears,

I have messaging service with very high rate of SMS receving about 4,000/5,000 SMS per minute.

NowSMS doing great job & receving SMS fast in SMSIN log file.

But in my case i want to save all coming messages to DB using 2-way (HTTP) >>>

But with HTTP > my ASP page establish new DB connection for each received SMS which slow down process & give headach to DB.

I would like to know the best practice to receive sms with a very high traffic? is there anyway to read messages from NOWSMS memory? or from the service, any altrnative way to receive & process SMS? please advise

Thanks & Best regards,

Hi,

There are some configuration settings specific to NowSMS that are described here: http://www.nowsms.com/2-way-sms-command-speed-and-performance-updated

However, this technique basically involves configuring NowSMS to open more simultaneous connections. If your problem is database connection overhead, this may not help.

I'm not an ASP expert, but I think you would want to look into something called connection pooling, which is an ASP/SQL Server technique for improving performance for high transaction rate servers. It does this by pooling database connections so that the reconnect overhead is minimized.
