Frequent 'connection reset by peer'
I am new to Linode, and am using bash in OS X to SSH to my node, but from time to time, the connection just closes itself and says 'connection reset by peer'. I wonder what could cause this behavior, and more specifically, could it be limited to SSH or all connections (HTTP, HTTPS, etc) to my node in general? Thanks.

@Guspaz:
Are you sure your connection isn't just timing out?
How long is the default time-out? I am pretty sure that the lengths of time of inactivity before 'connection reset by peer' are different from time to time. Sometimes I get disconnected 5 mins after logged on, and I was doing stuff in the terminal for at least 4 out of that 5 mins.
Besides time-out, any other possible cause for such disconnection? thanks.
