Some people run queuing algorithms based on packet size on narrow links.
Well... if you're queueing biggest-packet-first, yes, the ssh can get starved indefinitely if there's enough web browsers downloading pages or P2P traffic. If you're queueing smallest-first and there's enough even-smaller packets to starve an ssh session, you probably have bigger problems... Yes, it *could* make connecting to shoot that port that's spewing ICMP at line rates a bit challenging, but you knew that when you chose the queueing algorithm, right?
