The SMSC may be high availability, however the connection to it may not. High availability may be achieved by having multiple consumers from different load sharing SMSC. The SMSC may reject the bind if it is too busy, or a specific ESME may only be allowed to operate eg at off-peak times.
Not common, no, but there are a number of reasons why the initial bind may fail. You could make the same argument for failing the producer if the initial bind doesn't work - if you don't test the route you wont know if it's configured correctly. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Route-failure-on-startup-for-SMPP-consumer-if-SMSC-down-tp5730666p5730707.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
