I've run into mobile networks recently that drop packets if you change
the QoS flags.  So SSH negotiation works fine, afterwards the client
changes QoS bits to "interactive", and that seems to confuse their
nat gateway...  "ssh $machine $command" worked, so I changed my .ssh/config
to

host $myjumphost
  # gert, 19.10.19, "wie non-interactive session" - DTAG hakt grad mal
  ipqos cs1

... and it went back to working.

Might or might not be the case here.

gert
