The latter.

Do you use SSH? It's like TELNET, but it can also do port forwarding
over the same TCP connection as the main session, and it always
encrypts TCP traffic, and it supports a variety of authentication
mechanisms, but its main use is as a replacement for TELNET/RLOGIN.

The main SSH abstraction that you should be interested in, wrt this
discussion, is the channels abstraction, whereby SSHv2 multiplexes
multiple streams onto one TCP session - some channels may be associated
with, say, a login session, whereas others may be associated with X11
forwarding.
