if PuTTY decides of its own accord to send data: due to a repeat key
exchange in SSH-2 (see \k{config-ssh-kex-rekey}) or due to
keepalives (\k{config-keepalive}).
\H{errors-cannotassignaddress} \q{Network error: Cannot assign requested
address}
This means that the operating system rejected the parameters of the
