gnutls_handsha..._packet_length(3)  gnutls  gnutls_handsha..._packet_length(3)

NAME
       gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length -	API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void  gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t  session,
       size_t max);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t	session
		   is a	gnutls_session_t type.

       size_t max  is the maximum number.

DESCRIPTION
       This function will set the maximum  size	 of  all  handshake  messages.
       Handshakes   over   this	  size	 are   rejected	  with	GNUTLS_E_HAND-
       SHAKE_TOO_LARGE error code.  The	default	value is 128kb which is	 typi-
       cally  large  enough.  Set this to 0 if you do not want to set an upper
       limit.

       The reason for restricting the handshake	message	sizes are to limit De-
       nial of Service attacks.

       Note that the maximum handshake size was	increased to 128kb  from  48kb
       in GnuTLS 3.5.5.
