Dear Kazeem,

 

Honestly, I totally forgot the SMPP spec as my last encounter with SMPP is on 2013. So, I can't help much further about the system ID.

 

I am more interested in the architecture. I am not sure why there are multiple firewalls with F5 in between. Anyhow, I believe the iRule should be placed in the 3rd VIP instead of the 1st. It should be plain TCP LB in 1st VIP and 2nd VIP. The 3rd VIP should be the one talking SMPP to the SMPP server and doing the MBLB.

 

Cheers,

Thank you Joko, however, i don't understand what you mean by TCP LOAD BALANCING.

 

Can you please explain or give example of TCP load balancing to a pool of servers
