I successfully connected to an EC2 instance like so:

```
ssh -i .ssh/ec2docker.cer user@SOMEIP

```

After about an hour of using the instance, I leave and come back further two hours to this:

```
$ packet_write_wait: Connection to xx port 22: Broken pipe

```

Now, when trying to connect, nothing happens at all:

ssh does not terminate or give an error. The EC2 monitor shows that the instance is running with non-zero CPU utilization (around 25%) and non-zero network read and write.
