Hi, I don't know how to exactly describe my problem, but I will try my best with the help of a packet trace. Below is a trace of an SSL session. As seen from this, when the handshake is complete, and i send an applicaion data of 128 bytes, why do i get two record layer packet, instead of just one. In other wiords, I know how the 152 bytes packet comes, but I have no idea as to why the client sends an additional 24 byte record layer packet.
Any help is appreciated.
