How to build a high volume SMS messaging system?
MESSAGE CAPACITY
Peak capacity: 80 SMS / second (The peek capacity is balanced between
outgoing and incoming messages. For example if you are receiving 80 SMS /
second you can send 0 SMS / second, but if you receive 40 SMS / second, you
can send 40 SMS /second at the same time. The peak capacity determines the
required CPU performance.)
Average capacity per day: 80 SMS / second (The average capacity per day is
often smaller than the peak capacity. The average capacity determines the
amount of memory and hard disk space required.)
MAIN USAGE
The Outgoing / Incoming messages ratio is defined as: The system configuration
should be optimized for accepting incoming messages only.
END-USER APPLICATION
For the End-user application the following options can be selected:
Option 1: All messages (telephone numbers, message text, timestamp) should
be stored in a database and a web based user interface is required. The web
based user interface should provide a summary, and detailed message information
and it should be customized according to the requirements of the customer
Option 2: Only the telephone numbers and the receiving timestamp should be
stored for each message in a database. The user interface should display
summary information showing the number of incoming messages based on a user
defined time interval
Option 3: Only summary information should be stored. The user interface
should display summary information showing the number of incoming messages
based on predefined counters. (e.g. messages per hour, messages per day, etc)
Option 4: All messages should be forwarded to an external applications over
HTTP or an other API.
