early data setting for a server is non-zero then replay protection is
automatically enabled (see L</REPLAY PROTECTION> below).
In the event that the current maximum early data setting for the server is
different to that originally specified in a session that a client is resuming
with then the lower of the two values will apply.
If the server rejects the early data sent by a client then it will skip over
the data that is sent. The maximum amount of received early data that is skipped
is controlled by the recv_max_early_data setting. If a client sends more than
this then the connection will abort. This value can be set by calling
SSL_CTX_set_recv_max_early_data() or SSL_set_recv_max_early_data(). The current
value for this setting can be obtained by calling
SSL_CTX_get_recv_max_early_data() or SSL_get_recv_max_early_data(). The default
value for this setting is 16,384 bytes.
The recv_max_early_data value also has an impact on early data that is accepted.
The amount of data that is accepted will always be the lower of the
max_early_data for the session and the recv_max_early_data setting for the
server. If a client sends more data than this then the connection will abort.
The configured value for max_early_data on a server may change over time as
required. However clients may have tickets containing the previously configured
max_early_data value. The recv_max_early_data should always be equal to or
higher than any recently configured max_early_data value in order to avoid
aborted connections. The recv_max_early_data should never be set to less than
the current configured max_early_data value.
Some server applications may wish to have more control over whether early data
is accepted or not, for example to mitigate replay risks (see L</REPLAY PROTECTION>
