Re: [TLS] DTLS Key Separation PR

["Martin Thomson" <[e-mail]>]

Thanks, that was my mistake.  I confirmed with our code and we are indeed right up to the line.

So for those cases, we have a whole 32 bytes extra to play with. The only cases with an empty Context are "derived" and "res binder"|"ext binder". Those max out at 10, so we seem to have two whole bytes of wiggle room.
