SMPP data_sm
4.2.2 data_sm Operation
The data_sm operation is similar to the submit_sm in that it provides a means to submit a mobile-terminated message. However, data_sm is intended for packet-based applications such as WAP in that it features a reduced PDU body containing fields relevant to WAP or packet-based applications.
