Overview
The SMPP Load Balancer Proxy (SLBP) proxies SMPP submit_sm requests to your platforms. SMPP binds are made from the SLBP to your platforms using the customer's SMPP credentials, and only SMS traffic sent by that customer is routed to your platforms using their credentials. Delivery receipts and MO SMS are routed back to the customer as though they had directly connected to your platforms. No customer accounts need to be configured in the SLBP unless routing based on customer system ID. Only the host and port for each of your platforms are required to be configured in the SLBP.
Highlights
- Load balance SMS traffic from SMPP connections across multiple SMS gateways and SMSCs
- Up to 1000 SMS/sec throughput
- Monitoring via Prometheus/Grafana support

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
The following example adds two target SMPP servers (smsc1.smpp.org and smsc2.smpp.org) to where each customer's SMS traffic will be load balanced.
- SSH to your SLBP instance (or use AWS EC2 Instance Connect from your browser) as user ec2-user.
- Add first target SMPP server: ./ec2MLSMPPLoadBalancer targetAdd smsc1 smsc1.smpp.org
- Add second target SMPP server: ./ec2MLSMPPLoadBalancer targetAdd smsc2 smsc2.smpp.org
- Restart the SLBP: sudo systemctl restart mlslbp
Your customers can now connect using SMPP to port 2775 on your SLBP instance.
