Description

When attempting to connect to a machine with only IPv6 connectivity through a dual-stack jump server (with both IPv4 and IPv6), an error occurs: 'Receiving banner: too large banner'."

WindTerm(ipv4) --> jumphost(ipv4+ipv6) --> target(ipv6)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported WindTerm(ipv4) → dual-stack jump host → IPv6 target path and inspect the SSH connection and banner-handling flow. The issue names no files or tests, so locate the relevant connection entry point first. Done means the IPv6-only target connects through the jump server without the “too large banner” error.
