		// -- is followed by a packet received from the server -- a
		// PacketTunnelTransport.Read. For example, a UDP DNS request followed by a
		// response; or a TCP handshake sequence. The heuristic is to trigger an SSH
		// keep alive probe when there is no Read within the timeout period after a
		// Write. Any Read is sufficient to satisfy the deadline.
		//
		// To limit performance impact, we do not use, and continuously reset, a
		// time.Timer; instead we record the deadline upon successful Write and
		// check any set deadline during subsequent Writes. For the same reason, we
		// do we use a time.Ticker to check the deadline. This means that this
