    HPN-SSH is a series of performance patches for OpenSSH. By addressing network limitations and CPU limitations significant throughput performance can be realized. Gains of close to two orders of magnitude are possible on long fat network paths. The official git repo is now available at http://github.com/rapier1/openssh-portable. The Sourceforge repository should not be seen as the canonical repository for HPN-SSH. We will update it as we can but users should look to github to generate patches We also support Ubuntu packages. Add them to your package manager with `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rapier1/hpnssh` Fedora RPMs can be added with, `sudo dnf copr enable rapier1/hpnssh`
