So, the way I read it, is that key *and IV* length (i.e. key_length and iv_length) is actually defined in the paragraph before, but nowhere it says how long is the packet number encryption key (i.e. pn_key_length) which is what confused me (also considering the "see {{pn-encrypt}}" which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me since packet number encryption wasn't mentioned at all in that sentence).
