What can cause slow ssh session? [closed]
I ssh on remote host but terminal performance is poor. Symbols I am typing are not shown immediately, but with some delay. Sometimes two symbols are shown at one time after delay.
High latency is another cause of poor ssh performance. I highly recommend using mtr as a better replacement for traceroute. It should be able to give you some idea of where your network problems might occur.
Disabling X11 forwarding if you don't need it (ssh -x) and enabling compression (ssh -C) can also speed up your session.
I can think of two possible causes:
- Packet loss on the connection
- High load on the server.
