Web browsing will start new TCP connections (not for every fetched URL as back in the day, but still), while SSH uses just one connection. Thus you might have the combination of TCP slow start with several competing TCP connections (web browsing, file sharing, ...). As long as data is available to send (e.g. a screen update of X2Go), TCP will try to increase the send window, which might result in packet loss and slow the stream down again. You could try with a different congestion control algorithm for the ssh session or with quality of service settings (end-to-end or at least at the choke point, which might be the client side internet router). > We have tried playing with > ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax but that has not helped. This would only help to keep the session alive, but not to speed up recovery. Thanks, Erik -- Dipl.-Inform.
