High Traffic Performance Increase

[ashbrener]

If we want to connect to multiple SMPP servers, using a single clustered node.js app would it be advisable to create multiple Shorty client instances in each worker?

What are the performance implications here, and would it even be a good idea to open multiple sockets per worker to each single SMPP server? (Suggested pull request #22)

Would also be interested in completing TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER functionality that do not appear currently available in Shorty. Seems to be the right model according to this article:

SMPP Connection Types – Sender, Receiver, Transceiver
The type of connection that you use will depend on the preferences and policies of your SMPP service provider. Separate “sender” and “receiver” connections generally offer the best performance under extreme loads, however your provider may wish for you to use a “transceiver” connection to reduce the connection overhead on their server.
