@deftypefun {void} {gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, size_t @var{max})

@var{session}: is a @code{gnutls_session_t}  type.

@var{max}: is the maximum number.

This function will set the maximum size of all handshake messages.

Handshakes over this size are rejected with

@code{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.
