NAME

       gnutls_dtls_set_data_mtu - API function


SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/dtls.h>

       gnutls_dtls_set_data_mtu(3)  session,  unsigned  int
       mtu);


ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       unsigned int mtu
                   The maximum unencrypted transfer unit of the session


DESCRIPTION

       This function will set the maximum size of  the  *unencrypted*  records
       which will be sent over a DTLS session. It is equivalent to calculating
       the DTLS packet overhead with the current  encryption  parameters,  and
       calling  gnutls_dtls_set_mtu()  with  that  value.  In particular, this
       means that you may need to call this function again after any  negotia-
       tion  or renegotiation, in order to ensure that the MTU is still suffi-
       cient to account for the new protocol overhead.

       In most cases you only need to call gnutls_dtls_set_mtu() with the max-
       imum MTU of your transport layer.


RETURNS

       GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success, or a negative error code.


SINCE

       3.1
