Such events are counted in the ``TlsDecryptRetry`` statistic. +TLS_TX_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Specifies the maximum size of the plaintext payload for transmitted TLS records. + +When this option is set, the kernel enforces the specified limit on all outgoing +TLS records. No plaintext fragment will exceed this size. This option can be used +to implement the TLS Record Size Limit extension [1]. + +* For TLS 1.2, the value corresponds directly to the record size limit. +* For TLS 1.3, the value should be set to record_size_limit - 1, since + the record size limit includes one additional byte for the ContentType + field. + +The valid range for this option is 64 to 16384 bytes for TLS 1.2, and 63 to +16384 bytes for TLS 1.3.
