kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host error with ssh

When trying to connect with ssh to our internal server, I was seeing such errors intermittently -
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

When I would try again, it would connect.

Of the many possible reasons, I think in our case the cause might have been a busy router or a busy server. 

Edit: A restart or something like that seems to have solved it now, a couple of days later.
