SMPP

The SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer) is a protocol used by the telecommunications industry for exchanging SMS messages over the internet, mainly between Short Message Service Centers (SMSC). The protocol is a level-7 TCP/IP protocol, which allows fast delivery of SMS messages.

How Bandwidth is Involved with SMPP

When a message is sent with Bandwidth services, it is sent by the SMPP gateway to the SMSC with the delivery receipt value set. The SMSC will return the final disposition of the message as determined by the carrier.
