/** \def MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN
*
* Maximum fragment length in bytes.
* Maximum length (in bytes) of incoming and outgoing plaintext fragments.
*
* Determines the size of both the incoming and outgoing TLS I/O buffers.
* This determines the size of both the incoming and outgoing TLS I/O buffers
* in such a way that both are capable of holding the specified amount of
* plaintext data, regardless of the protection mechanism used.
*
* Uncommenting MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and/or MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN
* will override this length by setting maximum incoming and/or outgoing
* fragment length, respectively.
* To configure incoming and outgoing I/O buffers separately, use
* #MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN and #MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN,
* which overwrite the value set by this option.
*
* \note When using a value less than the default of 16KB on the client, it is
* recommended to use the Maximum Fragment Length (MFL) extension to
* to inform the server about this limitation. On the server, there
* is no supported, standardized way of informing the client about
* restriction on the maximum size of incoming messages, and unless
* the limitation has been communicated by other means, it is recommended
* to only change the outgoing buffer size #MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN
* while keeping the default value of 16KB for the incoming buffer.
*
* Uncomment to set the maximum plaintext size of both
* incoming and outgoing I/O buffers.
