It means that Kannel is SMS Gateway, it "speaks" SMPP (Simple Message Point to Point) protocol from one side and HTTP from the other. The SMPP functionalities have their HTTP equivalents and the users use simple HTTP requests for sending/receiving messages, instead to write the requests using SMPP protocol. It's a middleware between Telecommunications SMPP network and HTTP. It's an SMPP client which connect to the SMSC and lets you interact with it via HTTP. BR, Jovan
