how to interrupt a stuck ssh connection

Oooops i just typed "ip link set eth0 down" while i was sshed into a server. that ssh session is now stuck for the timeout. Is there a key I can press to kill the ssh session with out waiting for the timeout?


Assuming you're on some kind of Unix/Linux/OS X and running 'ssh' from a terminal;

<enter> ~. 

(also ~? will show you lots of other sometimes helpful keys)
