56-433: A response for each PDU being sent, or asynchronous, where multiple requests can be issued without waiting and acknowledged in a skew order by the other peer; the number of unacknowledged requests is called a window ; for the best performance both communicating sides must be configured with the same window size. The SMPP standard has evolved during the time. The most commonly used versions of SMPP are: The applicable version

84-526: A separate octet in the short_message field (with the most significant bit set to 0). SMPP 3.3 data_coding exactly copied TP-DCS values of GSM 03.38 , which make it suitable only for GSM 7-bit default alphabet, UCS2 or binary messages; SMPP 3.4 introduced a new list of data_coding values: The meaning of the data_coding=4 or 8 is the same as in SMPP 3.3. Other values in the range 1-15 are reserved in SMPP 3.3. Unfortunately, unlike SMPP 3.3, where data_coding=0

112-627: A task. And if the goal is communication and not quibbling, each implementation should overcome minor nonconformities with standard: Information applicable to one version of SMPP can often be found in another version of SMPP, for example with the case of SMPP 3.4 describing the only mechanism of delivery receipts in SMPP 3.3 described above. The SMPP protocol is designed on a clear-text binary protocol which needs to be considered if using for potentially sensitive information such as one-time passwords via SMS. There are, however, implementations of SMPP over SSL/TLS if required. Well-known port This

140-477: Is a list of TCP and UDP port numbers used by protocols for operation of network applications. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) only need one port for duplex , bidirectional traffic. They usually use port numbers that match the services of the corresponding TCP or UDP implementation, if they exist. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)

168-474: Is able to carry short messages including EMS , voicemail notifications, Cell Broadcasts , WAP messages including WAP Push messages (used to deliver MMS notifications), USSD messages and others. Because of its versatility and support for non- GSM SMS protocols, like UMTS , IS-95 (CDMA), CDMA2000 , ANSI-136 (TDMA) and iDEN , SMPP is the most commonly used protocol for short message exchange outside SS7 networks. SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer)

196-547: Is an example of the binary encoding of a 60-octet submit_sm PDU. The data is shown in Hex octet values as a single dump and followed by a header and body break-down of that PDU. This is best compared with the definition of the submit_sm PDU from the SMPP specification in order to understand how the encoding matches the field by field definition. The value break-downs are shown with decimal in parentheses and Hex values after that. Where you see one or several hex octets appended, this

224-457: Is because the given field size uses 1 or more octets encoding. Again, reading the definition of the submit_sm PDU from the spec will make all this clearer. Note that the text in the short_message field must match the data_coding. When the data_coding is 8 (UCS2), the text must be in UCS-2BE (or its extension, UTF-16BE ). When the data_coding indicates a 7-bit encoding, each septet is stored in

252-535: Is better not to use data_coding=0 . It may be tricky to use the GSM 7-bit default alphabet, some Short message service centers requires data_coding=0 , others e.g. data_coding=241 . Despite its wide acceptance, the SMPP has a number of problematic features: Although data_coding value in SMPP 3.3 are based on the GSM 03.38 , since SMPP 3.4 there is no data_coding value for GSM 7-bit alphabet ( GSM 03.38 ). However, it

280-476: Is common for DCS=0 to indicate the GSM 7-bit alphabet, particularly for SMPP connections to SMSCs on GSM mobile networks. It is further ambiguous whether the 7-bit alphabet is packed, as in GSM, allowing sending 160 characters in 140 octets, or whether the each 7-bit character takes up an entire octet (with the high bit set to zero, as with ASCII). According to SMPP 3.4 and 5.0 the data_coding=0 means ″SMSC Default Alphabet″. Which encoding it really is, depends on

308-474: Is passed in the interface_version parameter of a bind command. The SMPP PDUs are binary encoded for efficiency. They start with a header which may be followed by a body: Each PDU starts with a header. The header consists of 4 fields, each of length of 4 octets: All numeric fields in SMPP use the big endian order, which means that the first octet is the Most Significant Byte (MSB). This

336-425: Is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses, However, many unofficial uses of both well-known and registered port numbers occur in practice. Similarly, many of the official assignments refer to protocols that were never or are no longer in common use. This article lists port numbers and their associated protocols that have experienced significant uptake. The port numbers in

364-468: The IANA for SMPP when operating over TCP is 2775, but multiple arbitrary port numbers are often used in messaging environments. Before exchanging any messages, a bind command must be sent and acknowledged. The bind command determines in which direction will be possible to send messages; bind_transmitter only allows client to submit messages to the server, bind_receiver means that the client will only receive

392-454: The client–server model of operation, despite "peer-to-peer" in the name. The Short Message Service Center (SMSC) usually acts as a server, awaiting connections from ESMEs. When SMPP is used for SMS peering, the sending MC usually acts as a client. The protocol is based on pairs of request/response PDUs ( protocol data units , or packets) exchanged over OSI layer 4 ( TCP session or X.25 SVC3) connections. The well-known port assigned by

420-479: The registered ports . They are assigned by IANA for specific service upon application by a requesting entity. On most systems, registered ports can be used without superuser privileges. The range 49152–65535 (2 + 2 to 2 − 1), 16 384 ports, contains dynamic or private ports that cannot be registered with IANA. This range is used for private or customized services, for temporary purposes, and for automatic allocation of ephemeral ports . To run our code, type

448-559: The ESME solution for Openmind Networks) The only way to pass delivery receipts in SMPP 3.3 is to put information in a text form to the short_message field; however, the format of the text is described in Appendix B of SMPP 3.4, although SMPP 3.4 may (and should) use receipted_message_id and message_state TLVs for the purpose. While SMPP 3.3 states that Message ID is a C-Octet String (Hex) of up to 8 characters (plus terminating '\0'),

476-559: The SMPP 3.4 specification states that the id field in the Delivery Receipt Format is a C-Octet String (Decimal) of up to 10 characters. This splits SMPP implementations to 2 groups: The SMPP 3.4 specification does however state that the delivery receipt format is SMSC vendor specific, and therefore the format included in the specification is merely one possibility. As noted above, when using SMPP 3.4 receipted_message_id and message_state TLVs should be used to convey

504-475: The SMPP Developers Forum, later renamed as The SMS Forum. The SMS Forum disbanded in 2007, with this announcement: "The SMS Forum, a non-profit organization with a mission to develop, foster and promote SMS (short message service) to the benefit of the global wireless industry will disband by July 27, 2007." As part of the original handover terms, SMPP ownership returned to Mavenir. SMPP uses

532-572: The SMSC returns a submit_sm_resp with non-zero value of command_status and ″empty″ message_id. For the best compatibility, any SMPP implementation should accept both variants of negative submit_sm_resp regardless of the version of SMPP standard used for the communication. The original intention of error scenarios was that no body would be returned in the PDU response. This was the standard behavior exhibited on all Aldiscon/Logica SMSC and also in most of

560-472: The case of these two PDUs, that empty body will look like a single NULL octet at the end of the stream. The reason you may need this ability to include what I call dummy bodies with NACKed requests is that the other side of the equation may be unable or unwilling to change their implementation to tolerate the missing body. (I worked on three versions of SMPP specification in Aldiscon/Logica and designed

616-449: The messages, and bind_transceiver (introduced in SMPP 3.4) allows message transfer in both directions. In the bind command the ESME identifies itself using system_id, system_type and password; the address_range field designed to contain ESME address is usually left empty. The bind command contains interface_version parameter to specify which version of SMPP protocol will be used. Message exchange may be synchronous, where each peer waits for

644-964: The other vendors. When SMPP 3.4 was being taken on by the WAP forum, several clarifications were requested on whether a body should be included with NACKed response and measures were taken to clarify this in several places in the specification including the submit_sm section and also in the bind_transceiver section. What should have been done was to add the clarification that we eventually added in V5.0.. that bodies are not supposed to be included in error responses. Some vendors have been very silly in their implementations including bodies on rejected bind_transmitter responses but not on bind_transceiver responses etc. The recommendation I would make to vendors.. as suggested above.. accept both variants. But its also wise to allow yourself issue NACKed submit_sm_resp and deliver_sm_resp PDUs with and without an empty body. In

672-485: The outcome of a message. Since introduction of TLV parameters in version 3.4, the SMPP may be regarded an extensible protocol. In order to achieve the highest possible degree of compatibility and interoperability any implementation should apply the Internet robustness principle : ″Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept″. It should use a minimal set of features which are necessary to accomplish

700-420: The range from 0 to 1023 (0 to 2 − 1) are the well-known ports or system ports . They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services. On Unix-like operating systems, a process must execute with superuser privileges to be able to bind a network socket to an IP address using one of the well-known ports. The range of port numbers from 1024 to 49151 (2 to 2 + 2 − 1) are

728-580: The type of the SMSC and its configuration. One of the encodings in CDMA standard C.R1001 is Shift-JIS used for Japanese. SMPP 3.4 and 5.0 specifies three encodings for Japanese (JIS, ISO-2022-JP and Extended Kanji JIS), but none of them is identical with CDMA MSG_ENCODING 00101. It seems that the Pictogram encoding (data_coding=9) is used to carry the messages in Shift-JIS in SMPP. When a submit_sm fails,

756-542: Was originally designed by Aldiscon , a small Irish company that was later acquired by Logica (since 2016, after a number of changes Mavenir ). The protocol was originally created by a developer, Ian J Chambers, to test the functionality of the SMSC without using SS7 test equipment to submit messages. In 1995 the ETSI included the SMPP protocol into the technical report TR 03.39. In 1999 Logica formally handed over SMPP to

When using data_coding=0 , both sides (ESME and SMSC) must be sure they consider it the same encoding. Otherwise it
