Is there a way to do the reverse? That is, can I ensure a more stable connection by using one terminal to open multiple SSH TCP connections for faster speed and redundancy?

My workplace sometimes suffers from serious problems and because TCP allocates resources based on number of connections, I'm pretty sure I can improve the situation by establishing 2 tcp connections for the terminal.




TCP was designed to assume that packet loss was due to contention... so if you have random or other non-contention-related packet loss, your sessions will slow to a crawl. In this case multiplexing might make things worse than separate sessions... but you're probably just as screwed either way. What you really need to do is just get them to fix the random packet loss problem you probably have.
