From Study Guide:
The maximum segment size (MSS) is only the payload size and does not include the TCP headers.
You configure this parameter within a firewall policy and it determines the largest payload a device can handle in a single TCP segment.

config firewall policy
edit <policy id>
set tcp-mss-sender <mss value>
set tcp-mss-receiver <mss value>
end
