Telestax is pleased to announce the result of our load test performed using the latest iteration of Telscale SMSC Gateway. The load test was performed on an Amazon cloud server with the follow specifications

Amazon Cloud Server specification

Model vCPU Mem (GiB) SSD Storage (GB) Dedicated EBS Throughput (Mbps)
m4.2xlarge 8 32 EBS-only 1,000

Server configuration

  • Java version JDK version 7
  • Telscale version Telscale-smsc-6.2.2.672
  • Cassandra apache-cassandra-2.0.17-src.tar.gz
  • JAVA_OPTS=”-Xms12g -Xmx12g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000″

Test Result

The Cassandra and Telscale SMSC gateway ran on the same server.

Using the integrated SMPP load test tool, 1 Million SMS messages were sent to the Telscale SMSC server.

Processing was finished in 16 mins and 28 seconds

Processing an average of  1000 messages per second
