Using kannel as smpp server

[kriko]

Hello!

I've setup kannel with one smsc (at).
Would it be possible to set it also as an smpp server?

[Mads N. Vestergaard]

Hi Kriko,

Not as it is.

There is a commercial plugin called smppbox, as far as I recall.

You might want to talk to Stipe Tolj, about this.

thanks for the add Mads. :)

Yes, I provide a commercial add-on component, the Kannel SMPP v3.4
server (smppbox) that integrates seamlessly into the Kannel architecture
for providing a vSMSC solution if you want to connect own clients via SMPP.

The flow chain looks like this:

upstream SMSC <-SMPP/UCP/HTTP/..-> bearerbox <-> smppbox <-SMPP->
SMPP client

So smppbox attaches to bearerbox for the upstream MT, MO and DLR
traffic. All message types are supported and DLR msg ID handling is
transparently mapped.

Hi,

Are you sure you mean smpp server? Kannel is an SMPP client or proxy only.

Hmm, the term SMPP proxy is not really applicable to kannel. Proxy in
classical definition means, that it offers a SMPP server to mulitple
clients to share one uplink. Exactly this kannel is _not_ for. But you
can use multiple HTTP clients with one SMPP connection. (Nikos, I know
that you know it, but it might be irritating for someone new to kannel
to speak of an SMPP proxy)

But, Falco, that's what kannel does. The only difference to a real proxy is
that it connects as a client, not a server, to many SMScs and then can
reroute their SMS to another SMSc bypasing all internal processing.

reroute-smsc-id: Similar to reroute. All messages coming from this SMSc are
passed to the outbound queue of the specified SMSc. This allows direct
proxying of messages between 2 SMSc connections without injecting them to
the general routing procedure in bearerbox.

Well, that doesn't really meets the definition of proxy as I
understand it, but that's splitting hairs. I think Kriko now knows
what kannel does and what not:
- has SMPP (and various other protocols) Client
- has HTTP (and no other protocols) Server
- can route between them all
- can be made a SMPP server with commercial addon
- has dozens of other features which have nothing to do with this ;-)

Precicely. As I indicated in my original response, it is not the
functionality that kriko asks for. Unless what he asks for is a simple SMPP
connection, and simply was mistated. Nevertheless a neat trick, wouldn't you
say?
