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_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE error code.  The default value is  128kb  which  is  typically
       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 Denial of Service attacks.

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