Point taken.

It's unfortunately unlikely that'll happen, as upstream has stated that
they won't apply a patch that only provides an improvement on Linux:

While I realize that this doesn't introduce a new external dependency, I
have to say that this is not the week to be asking for a new distro
patch to OpenSSH!

I'd be happy to include this if upstream does, but I don't think I'm
likely to apply this in advance of upstream.

Bug#1068162: Please consider adding MP-TCP support

2024-03-31 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:9.6p1-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Please consider applying the following patch:

  https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/335

MP-TCP support allows moving from one IP address to another without
breaking connections, and does so in a way that remains compatible with
existing clients and servers.  It solves the main issue that causes people
to prefer mosh to ssh.

Thanks,
