Thanks for replies everyone. I also posted the same question the OpenSSL

prevent DOS attacks due to resource exhaustion (in the case that data was
being injected).

I think a better starting point would be to look at the implementation that's
causing the problem. There's nothing magical about a 16K max segment size
that causes poor performance, TCP typically has an MSS of 1400-1

Hello,
I'm currently developing an data transfer application using OpenSSL. The
application is required to securely transfer large amounts of data over a
low latency/high bandwidth network. The data being transferred lives in a
3rd part application that uses 1 MB buffer to transfer data to my
appl
