sshReuse SSH Connections to Cut Latency with ControlMaster
SSH ControlMaster multiplexing lets scripts and Git operations reuse one authenticated connection, cutting repeated handshake latency and server load.
Designing SSH Connection Multiplexing with ControlMaster: Requirements, Boundaries, and Operational Checks
An architecture note on SSH connection multiplexing via ControlMaster: outlines requirements, minimal configuration, trust boundaries, operational verification steps, failure modes, and triggers for redesign.
SSH Connection Multiplexing: Unclear Upper Bound on Concurrent Sessions per Master
Goal Configure OpenSSH to reuse a single TCP connection for multiple user sessions, aiming to reduce per‑session latency under concurrent requests. Constraints and Uncertainty OpenSSH exposes ControlMaster , ControlPath , and ControlPersist to enable multiplexing, but the only documented limit is MaxSessions (default 10). It is not specified whether this lim
