+### tlsSocket.setMaxSendFragment(size)
+
+Set maximum TLS fragment size (default and maximum value is: `16384`, minimum
+is: `512`). Returns `true` on success, `false` otherwise.
+
+Smaller fragment size decreases buffering latency on the client: large
+fragments are buffered by the TLS layer until the entire fragment is received
+and its integrity is verified; large fragments can span multiple roundtrips,
+and their processing can be delayed due to packet loss or reordering. However,
+smaller fragments add extra TLS framing bytes and CPU overhead, which may
+decrease overall server throughput.
