Re: SSH feature suggestion - inverse connection multiplexing

An inverse multiplexing layer would be added between the the connection

Why bother doing this inside the ssh protocol? Wouldn't it be much cleaner
to use tcp-level multiplexing and run ssh on top of that (or that on top
of SSH tunnels)?

Because of latency. If you build some kind of generic tcp inverse
multiplexer ("download accelerator") and run ssh over it the total
throughput will improve but since everything goes through a single
queue a file transfer over a forwarded port will still hurt the latency
of your interactive session.

I must be missing something. TCP stacks can include QoS reordering of the
queue, which is pretty much what you'd need to do inside this proposed ssh
extension, isn't it?
