Hi Charith, It always better to implement for a specification instead of a specific implementation such as SMSlib , Initially you can set up SMPPSim for testing it just like running a HTTP server.
Any way what is your plan to handle size of the the payload messages ..? This is not a problem with other protocols like HTTP,JMS or mail but SMS you need to think about the size of the massage. According to the SMPP spec "short_message size" is limited to 254 Octet String, also this value may be vary with networks. pay your attention for possible solution for this.
