Something *did* change.

Only by examining each node in the network. Start with the target host
(ssh server). tcpdump is good, as that ignores any packet filter
stuffups, which may not necessarily get logged to syslog.

Next is the consumer junk in between. Do you have admin access? Check
their logs. Run tcpdump on them - oh, never mind. Many of those make it
hard to save configurations, but happily run on RAM config for months -
then they get powercycled, and drats, problem exists. Always test this
junk with a poweroff after any config change.
