I have played around with kannel for some weeks now. But what is actually up with the SAR feature? Why and when is it needed? Is it for all type of phones and for any download bigger than the SDU max size?
Not all types send sar, but Kannel should work with them. Most obvious use for it is MMS: Mms are segmented because then you
must, in the case a failure, resend only the affected part, not the whole of the message.
And why does the force-sar keyword not work in the 1.3.0 devel version?
It is not needed anymore. "Force-sar" used to be a little white lie: Kannel claimed that it supported SAR, even though it did not.
This helped when some phone demanded sar but sent only one segment anyway. You can just remove it.
