DESCRIPTIONSome engines are able to process multiple simultaneous crypto operations. This capability could be utilised to parallelise the processing of a single connection. For example a single write can be split into multiple records and each one encrypted independently and in parallel. Note: this will only work in ​TLS1.1+. There is no support in SSLv3, TLSv1.0 or DTLS (any version). This capability is known as ‟pipelining” within OpenSSL. In order to benefit from the pipelining capability. You need to have an engine that provides ciphers that support this. The OpenSSL ‟dasync” engine provides ​AES128−SHA based ciphers that have this capability. However, these are for development and test purposes only. ​SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment() and SSL_set_max_send_fragment() set the ​max_send_fragment parameter for SSL_CTX and SSL objects respectively. This value restricts the amount of plaintext bytes that will be sent in any one ​SSL/TLS record. By default its value is SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH (16384). These functions will only accept a value in the range 512 − SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH. ​SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines() and SSL_set_max_pipelines() set the maximum number of pipelines that will be used at any one time. This value applies to both ​‟read” pipelining and ‟write” pipelining. By default only one pipeline will be used (i.e. normal non-parallel operation). The number of pipelines set must be in the range 1 − SSL_MAX_PIPELINES (32). Setting this to a value > 1 will also automatically turn on ‟read_ahead” (see SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead (3)). This is explained further below. OpenSSL will only every use more than one pipeline if a cipher suite is negotiated that uses a pipeline capable cipher provided by an engine. Pipelining operates slightly differently for reading encrypted data compared to writing encrypted data. SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment() and ​SSL_set_split_send_fragment() define how data is split up into pipelines when writing encrypted data. The number of pipelines used will be determined by the amount of data provided to the SSL_write_ex() or SSL_write() call divided by ​split_send_fragment. For example if split_send_fragment is set to 2000 and max_pipelines is 4 then: SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 0−2000 bytes == 1 pipeline used SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 2001−4000 bytes == 2 pipelines used SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 4001−6000 bytes == 3 pipelines used SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 6001+ bytes == 4 pipelines used ​split_send_fragment must always be less than or equal to ​max_send_fragment. By default it is set to be equal to max_send_fragment. This will mean that the same number of records will always be created as would have been created in the non-parallel case, although the data will be apportioned differently. In the parallel case data will be spread equally between the pipelines. Read pipelining is controlled in a slightly different way than with write pipelining. While reading we are constrained by the number of records that the peer (and the network) can provide to us in one go. The more records we can get in one go the more opportunity we have to parallelise the processing. As noted above when setting max_pipelines to a value greater than one, read_ahead is automatically set. The read_ahead parameter causes OpenSSL to attempt to read as much data into the read buffer as the network can provide and will fit into the buffer. Without this set data is read into the read buffer one record at a time. The more data that can be read, the more opportunity there is for parallelising the processing at the cost of increased memory overhead per connection. Setting read_ahead can impact the behaviour of the SSL_pending() function (see SSL_pending (3)). The SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len() and SSL_set_default_read_buffer_len() functions control the size of the read buffer that will be used. The len parameter sets the size of the buffer. The value will only be used if it is greater than the default that would have been used anyway. The normal default value depends on a number of factors but it will be at least ​SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH + SSL3_RT_MAX_ENCRYPTED_OVERHEAD (16704) bytes. ​SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_max_fragment_length() sets the default maximum fragment length negotiation mode via value mode to ctx. This setting affects only SSL instances created after this function is called. It affects the client-side as only its side may initiate this extension use. ​SSL_set_tlsext_max_fragment_length() sets the maximum fragment length negotiation mode via value mode to ssl. This setting will be used during a handshake when extensions are exchanged between client and server. So it only affects SSL sessions created after this function is called. It affects the client-side as only its side may initiate this extension use. ​SSL_SESSION_get_max_fragment_length() gets the maximum fragment length negotiated in session.
RETURN VALUESAll non-void functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
NOTESThe Maximum Fragment Length extension support is optional on the server side. If the server does not support this extension then ​SSL_SESSION_get_max_fragment_length() will return: TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_DISABLED. The following modes are available: TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_DISABLED Disables Maximum Fragment Length Negotiation (default). TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_512 Sets Maximum Fragment Length to 512 bytes. TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_1024 Sets Maximum Fragment Length to 1024. TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_2048 Sets Maximum Fragment Length to 2048. TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_4096 Sets Maximum Fragment Length to 4096. With the exception of SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len() ​SSL_set_default_read_buffer_len(), SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_max_fragment_length(), ​SSL_set_tlsext_max_fragment_length() and SSL_SESSION_get_max_fragment_length() all these functions are implemented using macros.
