When it comes to network issues, I like to run and review the following:
$ netstat -s
Another source of quality-of-service problems is if you use a different
port for ssh (or whatever) that some router somewhere turns out to have
a problematic QoS set by default. Weird latency problems or staring at
tcpdump outputs for hours isn't much fun?

Yes, though I now know QoS can be set in sshd directly.
Indeed, specifying <> in sshd_config made the problem
immediately disappear. I could induce it 100% of the time by simulating traffic
congestion (e.g. st

Sadly this appears to be the case. Despite comparing sshd_config ages
ago, I have identified a possible solution, adding:
IPQoS lowdelay throughput
to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the OpenBSD

Inspecting the captures a bit more closely, I see that OS X sets the DSCP field
in the IP header to 0x48 for SSH traffic - as does OpenBSD in its replies.
Linux sets this value to either 0x00 or 0x10 as does

Not at all. If anything I suspected a network misconfiguration and OpenBSD
responsible for uncovering it.

pf.conf is OpenBSD default and ifconfig is bog standard /24 network with MTU
1500.
Additional testing no
You are implying the issue is with OpenBSD, because if you SSH into Linux
first, the issue does not happen.
Send your pf.conf and your ifconfig - probably is an MTU or firewall issue,
and others will be able to help with those.

There is an older Mac client on my network which experiences routine packet
loss when connected to OpenBSD boxes over SSH. This manifests as the session
