The session stays alive as long as one of the machines does not get
powered-off. I actually use tmux on top of a Mosh session with my
laptop and the connection survives the IP address change from home to
work (this includes the machine sleeping during transit).
The tmux/screen session is not required, but provides a good backup
mechanism if your client loses power or otherwise kills the mosh-client
process.

You might be interested in taking a look at the Mosh project (
http://mosh.mit.edu/). Essentially a UDP-based SSH client (and server)
with connection roaming and improved buffering. It will require a
server component and access to UDP/6000x, so unfortunately not the best
of choices unless you own the servers.
Looks interesting. Since it uses the connectionless UDP, I presume it
does not have the dropped connection problem that the standard, TCP
based ssh does. Does it keep the [virtual?] connection nailed up even
across access network changes? Does one still need to use, e.g.,
screen, to keep the session alive in such cases?
Thanks,
