since upgrading to lion ssh connections constantly drop with:
Write failed: Broken pipe
this did not happen in snow leopard, nor does it happen on win7 pro in parralels
apple terminal, zoc, and securecrt all experience the same thing
did apple change an idle timeout setting or something?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
The changes mentioned towards the bottom of this page by subq seem to have fixed this issue for me:

12 hours+ and the issue has not resurfaced. However, making these changes to your user's ssh config under your own account are more preferable due to future updates overwriting them if made in /private/etc/ssh_config.
The plist fix worked for me.
Very definitley didn't work for me. Did anyone do anything other than trash that plist file? I just found it, trashed in and that was it
Okay, now the issue is back, so I am definitely thinking of looking into other fixes. Annoying!
Same issue here. Two 10.7.2 MacBooks, using built-in SSH from Terminal.
Same problem here (10.7.2 MacBook White): Write failed: Broken pipe
Changing options in ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh_config doen't work.
I am having this problem on a totally fresh install of Lion. Get broken pipes to a whole bunch of very different servers when SSHing. This is totally infuriating!!
kr4m17...does this line go into my .bash_profile?
Hopefully this will fix my issue...I'm having lots of broken pipes when using scp.
Thanks.
THANK YOU!
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5 and this worked for me.
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=9999
I wonder if this will need to be applied after any system updates?
