SMPP Gateway

Enabling SMS with SMPP3.4

The Short Message Peer-to-Peer protocol (SMPP) is a telecommunications industry protocol for exchanging SMS messages between SMS peer entities such as SMSC (Short Message Service Centres). Originally designed by Aldiscon, a small Irish company that was later acquired by Logica (now split off and known as Acision). In 1999, LogicaCMG formally handed over SMPP to the SMPP Developers Forum, later renamed as The SMS Forum and now disbanded. The protocol is based on pairs of binary-encoded request/response PDUs (protocol data units, or packets) exchanged over OSI layer 4 (TCP session or X.25 SVC3) connections.

SMPP often used to allow third parties (e.g. value-added content providers like news organisations) to submit messages (often in bulk) and receive messages.
