ead&quot; (see <a href="../man3/SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead.html">SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead(3)</a>). This is explained further below. OpenSSL will only ever use more than one pipeline if a cipher suite is negotiated that uses a pipeline capable cipher provided by an engine.</p>

<p>Pipelining operates slightly differently for reading encrypted data compared to writing encrypted data. SSL_CTX_set_split_send_fragment() and SSL_set_split_send_fragment() define how data is split up into pipelines when writing encrypted
