Q: TCP segment length with TLS is almost 8KB I'm sniffing a connection using TLS with OpenSSL. Both application running in the same node and connecting through the local interface. Even though, the max size allowed by TLS Record Protocol is 16KB and the MSS negotiated by TCP is ~64KB, I'm seeing TLS application protocol messages being sent from one node to the other as 2 TCP messages of 8221-Byte payloads (TCP payload).
Note this is a connection between two applications in the same nodeand TCP's MSS=65495.
Why can't I see one TCP message of ~16KB instead of two TCP messages of ~8KB?
