Hi Nowsms support , Project of swapping windows by Linux is started. The goal for us is to have two MMSC that run on different geographical site. I have some question regarding this : 1) do we have the choice between a actice/active or a master/backup mode for the clustering ? 2) we wanted to use the same DB for both MMSC, but in the case of the active/active clustering, in order to have both MMSC receiving traffic , i Guess we have to install a load balancer before the both MMSC. is there any recomendation by using this method by example with the DR that should be send to the proper MMSC. Using master/backup clustering mode , it will be more easy 3) we have got , around 300 000 subscribers , what are your recomendations for the DB mariadb or mysql ? Thanks before hand for your advices , Br Marc | |||

Hi Marc, If multiple MMSC nodes are using the same database, they are all active. There is no need to ensure that delivery reports are sent back to the same MMSC node ... all nodes have access to the same processing data. Therefore, there are no special considerations for a load balancer. As for mariadb vs. mysql, we don't have a preference, and would recommend using whichever platform your staff is the most comfortable with. Regards, Bryce | |||

Hi Bryce , Thanks for your feedback , From my point of viiew , the load balancer was more for the MMS MO. MMS sent from the network come from the Core Network node ( GGSN or SSR or etc..depending the radio access 2G,3G, 4G, or 5G) so a load sharing must be perform in front of both mmsc in order to distribute equally the incoming traffic to both. This reflection is available if the architecture of MMSC is on active-active. If we run master/backup node , in this case , no need for a load balancer of course. Br Marc | |||

Hi Marc, Yes, I agree. Sorry if my response was confusing. Let me clarify... I was just saying that there weren't any "special considerations for a load balancer". You were asking about an example of a DR being sent to the proper MMSC. If this were necessary (it is not), then I would consider this to be a special consideration ... the load balancer would need to have some special logic to recognize this requirement. I am not aware of any situation where follow-up requests need to be directed to the same MMSC. Therefore, any load balancer just need to distribute the traffic equally.
