Message per Second Capacity

Hi Anthon,

Our team is making stress tests on PlaySMS sending messages from file. We are using a 5k rows file and sending the messages via SMPP using the Dev gateway and this library but we found that we just receive between 1 and 7 message by second in the other side (server). Could I improve this using another gateway? Can you suggest me a better way to maximize the amount of messages per second and improve the upload time of the file?

Have a nice day.

You can try kannel

And also try to use database in between:

playsms – mod dev – save to a db tbl – php cli script reads db tbl and use the lib to send

Hello Anton, thank you for your answer.

Is there a way to invoke some instances of the daemon to improve the time of the sending?
Something like running various time this command:

/usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/bin/playsmsd sendsmsd

That feature is on the way, hopefully done for next release next month

Why not using Kannel or Jasmin ?

Anton

Oh, I’m waiting for this feature (multiple daemons), hope you finish it soon. By the way we change the method of sending and also we discover that the problem was in the other side not in playsms. Thanks.

Hi,

Its there already :smiley: Grab master version, it won’t change much until 1.2 (next week the soonest or early Sept)

did you try having multiple daemons ?

how to activate ?
if you could help me out
Thanks

in latest playSMS (1.3.1) playSMS will send messages in paralell, previously only 1 message at a time

try sending bulk message (for demo just send it to dev), and then go back to console and see it: ps ax | grep playsms
