load balance SMPP

Hi, Everyone:

 

 

I am new on F5, I am wondering that anyone use F5 Big-IP LMT to load balance SMPP (Short Message Peer-Peer)

 

 

thanks,

    Hi all,

     

    I also would like to know about possibility to load balance SMPP 3.4 via LTM.

     

    SMPP 3.4 working on top of TCP/IP, so with TCP persistanse rule it should work, but what about IP addresses modification in SMPP message body itself (if any) ?

    Hi,

     

    I had a customer did a POC to load balance SMPP, we found that SMPP TCP connection will have multiple message, it upon how many messages to be sent by a single TCP Socket. It seem difficult to load balance per message.
