rust-smpp

An SMPP library for Rust.

In early development: a basic framework for an SMSC is done, but many features required for a robust service are missing. See Issues.

See also: API docs and crates.io entry

Server application (SMSC)

First, install Rust.

To launch an SMSC:

cargo run

To find parameters that you can provide on startup, run:

cargo run -- --help

-- is what separates cargo arguments and binary arguments, so to provide a different bind address, run:

cargo run -- -b 0.0.0.0:23432

You can also provide parameters as environment variables as described in help:

BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:23432 cargo run

To launch with detailed logging:

RUST_LOG=DEBUG cargo run

Publishing releases

cargo update
vim CHANGELOG.md   # Set the version number
vim Cargo.toml     # Set the version number
cargo publish
git tag $VERSION
git push --tags

Reference documentation

Development focusses on SMPP v3.4, since that is in wide use. Docs:

• SMPP Spec v3.4 Issue 1.2
• SMPP v3.4 Implementation Guide v1.0
• How to send an SMS using netcat
