I was wondering how the recv() Funktion of paramiko actually works.
http://docs.paramiko.org/en/1.13/api/channel.html#paramiko.channel.Channel.recv
I noticed it has been discussed before how to receive more than the specified amount of data in bytes and how to use it (How does paramiko Channel.recv() exactly work?).
However, I am wondering what determines the maximum number of bytes receivable by the recv() funtion. Is the recv() function analogue to the recv() function of the Python socket module? Is the maximum number of bytes determined by the maximum segment size (MSS) of the socket? Or by the MTU?
