Also... what if there's a multi-path route and the packets are going both ways, one might be delayed sufficiently to not be picked up as a duplicate... but then again the TCP protocols should take care of this ... that's what sequence numbers are for.
and thats also confusing me. but if (just a stupid and assumption, that this does not work) the tcp is not handling the duplicates which can be cause by retransmissions aso, should not the SSH protocol take care of the integrity of the data flow? SSH is standing for secure, but shouldnt it also check if the data is correct?
another idea: have you tried to scp a file and to check the integrity of the file? eg with md5sum? is there also a problem?
