I feel like I've seen acceleration mentioned in other contexts, but it doesn't seem like a core function of the record protocol in TLS.

Compression definitely sounds like a function, but I’m a bit confused about whether authentication is part of the record protocol or not.
UL

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed the functions of TLS, but I can't recall if acceleration is one of them.
LI

I think the record protocol handles encryption and compression, but I'm not sure about acceleration.
