Hi all,
new year, new approaches. In December I was tasked to think about a real SMSC with SMPP input and SS7 output (or SMPP in the future) and I wrote down my ideas[1] about data storage, approach, how to achieve scaling. What is missing fail-over but there are some ideas for this as well.
The implementation will be done using Pharo and at least the first data storage will use mongodb >= 3.2. In the past my Pharo work has not been hosted in git but for this project it will change and maybe it creates some more visibility, historically documentation and debian packages were not too visible but that will be different this time as well.
If you are interested in specification, Smalltalk, testing, load testing, SS7 or such please join me in the development.
happy hacking holger
