+By default, when a server is configured for early data (i.e., max_early_data > 0),
+OpenSSL will switch on replay protection. See L<SSL_read_early_data(3)> for a

+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>
+below) or to decline early_data when the server is heavily loaded. The functions
+SSL_CTX_set_allow_early_data_cb() and SSL_set_allow_early_data_cb() set a
+callback which is called at a point in the handshake immediately before a
+decision is made to accept or reject early data. The callback is provided with a
+pointer to the user data argument that was provided when the callback was first
+set. Returning 1 from the callback will allow early data and returning 0 will
+reject it. Note that the OpenSSL library may reject early data for other reasons
+in which case this callback will not get called. Notably, the built-in replay
+protection feature will still be used even if a callback is present unless it
+has been explicitly disabled using the SSL_OP_NO_ANTI_REPLAY option. See
