A protocol of best SMPP server provider enables short message entities (SMSes) outside the carrier network to interface with an SMS center. Non-mobile entities that transfer or submit text messages or to receive messages from an SMSC are known as external short message entities (ESMEs).

The protocol is fully based on a request and an associated response model (except for some situations). It interprets a set of operations and protocol data units and data. PDUs are nothing but the TCP packets between the ESME and the SMSC. For example, Session management PDU is responsible for connection, disconnecting and keeping that connection established. SMPP PDUs have a mandatory header with command length, id, status, and a sequence number. Some protocol data units do not have a body and some do not have any Optional parameters.

Mainly, there are three message exchange modes of ESME once the connection is established on the SMSC using SMPP robust connectivity.

1. SMS sent from the ESME (transmitter) to the SMSC.

2. SMS sent from the SMSC to the ESME (receiver).

3. SMS messages sent from the ESME to the SMSC and messages sent from the SMSC to ESME.

Error handling in SMPP can be explained as follows:

• A response should be received in a specified interval time(transaction time)

• The response has a Non-zero command_status
