(There are some handshake messages that are removed entirely.)

Since then, we have significantly optimized the encoding in EDHOC and the upcoming version (-11) is expected to have the following message sizes.

Thanks for the numbers!

> The numbers above include ECDHE. For handshake messages, my understanding is that the DTLS 1.3 and TLS 1.3 record layer have exactly the same size.

The DTLS 1.3 ones will be worse, due to the epoch and sequence number
fields.
