We are trying to optimize an SSH tunnel for throughput (targeting 1 Gbps through the tunnel). We are noticing that a single tunnel's throughput maxes out at 400 - 500 Mbps, but concurrent tunnels can reach a higher cumulative speed. We are wondering if we can use this to our advantage, because the bandwidth we need is mainly during concurrent requests.
Documentation addresses SSH session sharing, but we're interested in the opposite of this: opening a separate SSH tunnel per request.
We're wondering if a local SOCKS5 proxy server could help us, but the documentation doesn't show any examples for how to use the StartSocksServer() method. The method's description says
Starts a new outgoing tunnel. Connections to local host/port will be
tunneled through the SSH server to the specified remote host/port.
But there's no option to "specify" the "remote host/port." We would appreciate any help toward our goal and understanding how to configure the SOCKS5 proxy. Thank you.
