Maximum number of segments supported for outgoing messages. This value should typically be fine-tuned based on what models the local node supports, i.e. what’s the largest message payload that the node needs to be able to send. This value affects memory consumption, which is why the default is lower than the maximum that the specification would allow (32 segments).

The maximum outgoing SDU size is 12 times this number (out of which 4 or 8 bytes is used for the Transport Layer MIC). For example, 5 segments means the maximum SDU size is 60 bytes, which leaves 56 bytes for application layer data using a 4-byte MIC and 52 bytes using an 8-byte MIC.

      Maximum number of segments supported for outgoing messages.
      This value should typically be fine-tuned based on what
      models the local node supports, i.e. what's the largest
      message payload that the node needs to be able to send.

      would allow (32 segments).

      The maximum outgoing SDU size is 12 times this number (out of
      which 4 or 8 bytes is used for the Transport Layer MIC). For
      example, 5 segments means the maximum SDU size is 60 bytes,
      which leaves 56 bytes for application layer data using a
