+You may want to set ServerAliveInterval in your ssh config,
+or some of the related options like ServerAliveCountMax and
+TCPKeepAlive. See `man ssh_config`

+I think that normally, ssh does detect when a connection to a server has
+gone away, just due to the tcp connection dropping. But that may take some
+time to happen.
