Dear Bryce,

Is it possible to use WindowSize with SMSCSendLimit? but wouldn't these both be the same thing?

Yes, it is still possible.

There is some interaction between these parameter settings, but no conflict.

SMSCSendLimit specifies the maximum speed at which messages can be submitted to a particular SMSC, specified as a ratio of x/y, where x is a number of messages, and y is a number of sections. (For example, 1/3 means 1 message every 3 seconds; 10/1 means 10 messages every 1 second ... or 1 message every 1/10 second.)

The timing is based upon when the message submission starts. If you are using async SMPP, a new message submission will not be triggered if the current transmission window is full.

I suppose it is possible that some combinations of values might lead to some conflicts, but there are no conflicts that I would anticipate.

Of course, I also wouldn't use async SMPP unless you were going for at least 2 messages per second, as there is no real benefit.
