Abstract

TLS 1.3 records limit the inner plaintext (TLSInnerPlaintext) size to 2^14 + 1 bytes, which includes one byte for the content type. Records also have a 3-byte overhead due to the fixed opaque_type and legacy_record_version fields. This document defines a TLS extension that allows endpoints to negotiate a larger maximum inner plaintext size, up to 2^32 - 256 bytes, while reducing overhead.
