alt Hacker News> I am working on a high-performance game that runs over ssh.
Found your problem.
But it is an interesting world where you can casually burrow into a crypto library and disable important security features more easily than selecting the right network layer solution.

Yea UDP is technically more performant, but then you need a crypto layer + reliable message delivery layer + bespoke client. Using a plain old SSH client is cool.
However, there are existing libraries for exactly this use case - see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/GameNetworkingSockets
I guess QUIC libraries would also work.

The problems you run into when doing things you shouldn't do are often really fun.
