+ * \brief Set the maximum fragment length to emit and/or negotiate.
+ * (Typical: the smaller of #MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and
+ * #MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN, usually `2^14` bytes)
* (Server: set maximum fragment length to emit,
- * usually negotiated by the client during handshake
+ * usually negotiated by the client during handshake)
* (Client: set maximum fragment length to emit *and*
* negotiate with the server during handshake)
+ * (Default: #MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAG_LEN_NONE)
*
- * \note With TLS, this currently only affects ApplicationData (sent
- * with \c mbedtls_ssl_read()), not handshake messages.
- * With DTLS, this affects both ApplicationData and handshake.
+ * \note On the client side, the maximum fragment length extension
+ * *will not* be used, unless the maximum fragment length has
+ * been set via this function to a value different than
+ * #MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_FRAG_LEN_NONE.
*
* \note This sets the maximum length for a record's payload,
* excluding record overhead that will be added to it, see
* \c mbedtls_ssl_get_record_expansion().
*
+ * \note With TLS, this currently only affects ApplicationData (sent
+ * with \c mbedtls_ssl_read()), not handshake messages.
+ * With DTLS, this affects both ApplicationData and handshake.
+ *
* \note For DTLS, it is also possible to set a limit for the total
* size of daragrams passed to the transport layer, including
* record overhead, see \c mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().
