TECHNIQUES FOR MESSAGE AGGREGATOR TESTING AND SELECTION

摘要

Techniques for message aggregator testing and selection are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise an aggregator contact component, an aggregator selection component, and a messaging component. The aggregator contact component may receive a plurality of bids from a plurality of message aggregators. The aggregator selection component may select two or more candidate aggregators of the plurality of message aggregators, estimate a price-per-delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators, and select a contracting aggregator based on the price-per-delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators. The messaging component may submit a plurality of messages to each of the two or more candidate aggregators, receive a plurality of message confirmations in response to the plurality of messages, and determine the delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a plurality of bids from a plurality of message aggregators, each of the plurality of bids comprising a price-per-message rate; selecting two or more candidate aggregators of the plurality of message aggregators, wherein at least one candidate aggregator is selected according to the price-per-message rate; submitting a plurality of messages to each of the two or more candidate aggregators; receiving a plurality of message confirmations in response to the plurality of messages; determining a delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators based on a confirmation count of the received plurality of message confirmations as compared to a submission count of the submitted plurality of messages; estimating a price-per-delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators based on the determined delivery rate and bid for each of the two or more candidate aggregators; and selecting a contracting aggregator based on the price-per-delivery rate for each of the two or more candidate aggregators.
