when I try to connect a specific server via ssh I get : Connection closed by 10.5.8.1 (more detail after)
I saw much error similar to mine, but the workaround that seems works with other, don't work here.
The workaround consists to reduce the Cipher options, to reduce the query/response stream between the server and the client. [1, 2 and much more, but I can't post more than 2 links...]
Here after my ~/.ssh/config
Host *
SendEnv LANG LC_*
HashKnownHosts yes
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no
Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
Here the result of the ssh connection log

Obviously I test with the default config, removing the entry for this server in my ~/.ssh/know_hosts file, tryed to find a lib named paramiko for ssh without success, tryed to put only one Cipher at a time... I had no more ideas.
I haven't access to the remote server.
