=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Some engines are able to process multiple simultaneous crypto operations. This
|
|
capability could be utilised to parallelise the processing of a single
|
|
connection. For example a single write can be split into multiple records and
|
|
each one encrypted independently and in parallel. Note: this will only work in
|
|
TLS1.1+. There is no support in SSLv3, TLSv1.0 or DTLS (any version). This
|
|
capability is known as "pipelining" within OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
In order to benefit from the pipelining capability. You need to have an engine
|
|
that provides ciphers that support this. The OpenSSL "dasync" engine provides
|
|
AES128-SHA based ciphers that have this capability. However these are for
|
|
development and test purposes only.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_max_send_fragment() and SSL_set_max_send_fragment() set the
|
|
B<max_send_fragment> parameter for SSL_CTX and SSL objects respectively. This
|
|
value restricts the amount of plaintext bytes that will be sent in any one
|
|
SSL/TLS record. By default its value is SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH (16384). These
|
|
functions will only accept a value in the range 512 - SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_max_pipelines() and SSL_set_max_pipelines() set the maximum number
|
|
of pipelines that will be used at any one time. This value applies to both
|
|
"read" pipelining and "write" pipelining. By default only one pipeline will be
|
|
used (i.e. normal non-parallel operation). The number of pipelines set must be
|
|
in the range 1 - SSL_MAX_PIPELINES (32). Setting this to a value > 1 will also
|
|
automatically turn on "read_ahead" (see L<SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead(3)>). This is
|
|
explained further below. OpenSSL will only every use more than one pipeline if
|
|
a cipher suite is negotiated that uses a pipeline capable cipher provided by an
|
|
engine.
|
|
|
|
Pipelining operates slightly differently for reading encrypted data compared to
|
|
writing encrypted data. SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment() and
|
|
SSL_set_split_send_fragment() define how data is split up into pipelines when
|
|
writing encrypted data. The number of pipelines used will be determined by the
|
|
amount of data provided to the SSL_write_ex() or SSL_write() call divided by
|
|
B<split_send_fragment>.
|
|
|
|
For example if B<split_send_fragment> is set to 2000 and B<max_pipelines> is 4
|
|
then:
|
|
|
|
SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 0-2000 bytes == 1 pipeline used
|
|
|
|
SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 2001-4000 bytes == 2 pipelines used
|
|
|
|
SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 4001-6000 bytes == 3 pipelines used
|
|
|
|
SSL_write/SSL_write_ex called with 6001+ bytes == 4 pipelines used
|
|
|
|
B<split_send_fragment> must always be less than or equal to
|
|
B<max_send_fragment>. By default it is set to be equal to B<max_send_fragment>.
|
|
This will mean that the same number of records will always be created as would
|
|
have been created in the non-parallel case, although the data will be
|
|
apportioned differently. In the parallel case data will be spread equally
|
|
between the pipelines.
|
|
|
|
Read pipelining is controlled in a slightly different way than with write
|
|
pipelining. While reading we are constrained by the number of records that the
|
|
peer (and the network) can provide to us in one go. The more records we can get
|
|
in one go the more opportunity we have to parallelise the processing. As noted
|
|
above when setting B<max_pipelines> to a value greater than one, B<read_ahead>
|
|
is automatically set. The B<read_ahead> parameter causes OpenSSL to attempt to
|
|
read as much data into the read buffer as the network can provide and will fit
|
|
into the buffer. Without this set data is read into the read buffer one record
|
|
at a time. The more data that can be read, the more opportunity there is for
|
|
parallelising the processing at the cost of increased memory overhead per
|
|
connection. Setting B<read_ahead> can impact the behaviour of the SSL_pending()
|
|
function (see L<SSL_pending(3)>).
|
|
|
|
The SSL_CTX_set_default_read_buffer_len() and SSL_set_default_read_buffer_len()
|
|
functions control the size of the read buffer that will be used. The B<len>
|
|
parameter sets the size of the buffer. The value will only be used if it is
|
|
greater than the default that would have been used anyway. The normal default
|
|
value depends on a number of factors but it will be at least
|
|
SSL3_RT_MAX_PLAIN_LENGTH + SSL3_RT_MAX_ENCRYPTED_OVERHEAD (16704) bytes.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_max_fragment_length() sets the default maximum fragment
|
|
length negotiation mode via value B<mode> to B<ctx>.
|
|
This setting affects only SSL instances created after this function is called.
|
|
It affects the client-side as only its side may initiate this extension use.
|
|
|
|
SSL_set_tlsext_max_fragment_length() sets the maximum fragment length
|
|
negotiation mode via value B<mode> to B<ssl>.
|
|
This setting will be used during a handshake when extensions are exchanged
|
|
between client and server.
|
|
So it only affects SSL sessions created after this function is called.
|
|
It affects the client-side as only its side may initiate this extension use.
|
|
|
|
SSL_SESSION_get_max_fragment_length() gets the maximum fragment length
|
|
negotiated in B<session>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
All non-void functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The Maximum Fragment Length extension support is optional on the server side.
|
|
If the server does not support this extension then
|
|
SSL_SESSION_get_max_fragment_length() will return:
|
|
TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_DISABLED.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_DISABLED
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=item TLSEXT_max_fragment_length_512
|
|
