View Source SMPPEX.MC (smppex v3.2.3)

This is a module for launching a TCP listener (or any other listener supported by ranch, for example, ssl) which handles incoming connections with the passed SMPPEX.Session implementations.

To start an MC one generally should do the following.

  1. Implement an SMPPEX.Session behaviour.

defmodule MyMCSession do
  use SMPPEX.Session

  # ...Callback implementation

end
  1. Pass the child specification to a supervisor, using implemented behaviour as a session module:
Supervisor.start_link(
  [
    {
      SMPPEX.MC,
      session: {MyESMESession, session_arg},
      transport_opts: [port: 2775]
    },
    ...
  ],
  ...
)

Note that each received connection is served with its own process which uses passed callback module (MyESMESession) for handling connection events. Each process has his own state initialized by init callback receiving socket, transport and a copy of arguments (session_arg).

Summary

Functions

Returns a supervisor child specification for starting listener for MC entity.

Starts listener for MC entity.

Stops MC listener and all its sessions.

Functions

@spec child_spec(Keyword.t()) :: Supervisor.child_spec()

Returns a supervisor child specification for starting listener for MC entity.

Starting under a supervisor:

Supervisor.start_link(
  [
    {SMPPEX.MC, session: {MyESMESession, session_arg}, ...},
    ...
  ],
  ...
)

Options:

  • :session (required) a {module, arg} tuple, where module is the callback module which should implement SMPPEX.Session behaviour, while arg is the argument passed to the init callback each time a new connection is received.
  • :transport is :ranch transport used for TCP connections: either ranch_tcp (the default) or ranch_ssl;
  • :transport_opts is a map of :ranch transport options. The major key is socket_opts which contains a list of important options such as {:port, port}. The port is set to 0 by default, which means that the listener will accept connections on a random free port. For backward compatibility one can pass a list of socket options instead of transport_opts map (as in :ranch 1.x).
  • :session_module is a module to use as an alternative to SMPPEX.Session for handling sessions (if needed). For example, SMPPEX.TelemetrySession.
  • :acceptor_count is the number of :ranch listener acceptors, 50 by default.
  • :mc_opts is a keyword list of MC options:
    • :session_init_limit is the maximum time for which a session waits an incoming bind request. If no bind request is received within this interval of time, the session stops. The default value is 10000 ms;
    • :enquire_link_limit is value for enquire_link SMPP timer, i.e. the interval of SMPP session inactivity after which enquire_link PDU is send to "ping" the connetion. The default value is 30000 ms;
    • :enquire_link_resp_limit is the maximum time for which a session waits for enquire_link PDU response. If the response is not received within this interval of time and no activity from the peer occurs, the session is then considered dead and the session stops. The default value is 30000 ms;
    • :inactivity_limit is the maximum time for which a peer is allowed not to send PDUs (which are not response PDUs). If no such PDUs are received within this interval of time, the session stops. The default is :infinity ms;
    • :response_limit is the maximum time to wait for a response for a previously sent PDU. If the response is not received within this interval, handle_resp_timeout callback is triggered for the original pdu. If the response is received later, it is discarded. The default value is 60000 ms.
    • :response_limit_resolution is the maximum time after reaching response_limit for which a PDU without a response is not collected. Setting to 0 will make PDUs without responses to be collected immediately after response_limit ms. Setting to greater values improve performance since such PDUs are collected in batches. The default value is 100 ms.
    • :default_call_timeout is an integer greater than zero which specifies how many milliseconds to wait for a reply, or the atom :infinity to wait indefinitely.If no reply is received within the specified time, the function call fails and the caller exits. The default value is 5000 ms. If :mc_opts list of options is ommited, all options take their default values. The returned value is either {:ok, ref} or {:error, reason}. The ref can be later used to stop the whole MC listener and all sessions received by it.

@spec start(
  {module(), args :: term()},
  opts :: Keyword.t()
) :: {:ok, listener_ref :: :ranch.ref()} | {:error, reason :: term()}

Starts listener for MC entity.

The listener is started in the supervision tree of the :ranch application. Therefore, prefer child_spec/1, which allows you to start the MC in your own supervision tree.

The first argument must be a {module, arg} tuple, where module is the callback module which should implement SMPPEX.Session behaviour, while arg is the argument passed to the init callback each time a new connection is received. For the list of other options see child_spec/1.

@spec stop(:ranch.ref()) :: :ok

Stops MC listener and all its sessions.
