I created internal VMware bug 2319367 to track looking into this.

Title:
  19.04 beta openssh-client broken pipe

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in openssh package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  New versions of openssh (as in Ubuntu 19.04) are reported to trigger a
  connection issue:

     packet_write_wait: Connection to x.x.x.x port 22: Broken pipe

  In most of the cases this seems to affect VMWare based environments as
  there is a bug in their implementation in regard to the traffic
  shaping protocols.

  Until resolved by VMWare the workarounds for now are:

  Configure your client to use the old defaults permanently in
  =>  /etc/ssh/ssh_config 
  Host *
      IPQoS lowdelay throughput 
  # You might want to limit to your VMware based systems

  Or per command via:
   $ ssh IPQoS="latency throughput" user at host

  Two values as one is for interactive and one for non-interactive use
  cases.

  ---- original report ----

  Upgrade to Xubuntu 19.04 beta from 18.10

  openssh-client

  when trying to ssh into another system, following error:

  packet_write_wait: Connection to x.x.x.x port 22: Broken pipe

  Problem is consistent on trying to connect to various systems.

  Can confirm was able to ssh prior to upgrade and can ssh into these
  systems from other systems.

  Can use putty on this system to ssh into these boxes as well.
