This error has been happening across a few tests with no real pattern.
This "Error reading SSH protocol banner" generally means that we can't connect to the host, in this case a CDT host, over ssh. This has happened in the past for various reasons, see e.g., https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/issues/6967 and https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/issues/7086.
Ducktape has an "ssh checker" thing we can enable which does some diagnostics in cases like this. We can also retry. We can also try to extract the sshd log on the target node (assuming ssh does come back) to see what it says.
In one of the causes of this was random public traffic hitting port 22 causing sshd to reject connections with some probability but currently we limit port 22 access to the IP of the machine running DT (but we should double check this) so we should not see random attempts on this port.
@twmb this seems like an infra thing we'd help on.
This issue hasn't seen activity in 3 months. If you want to keep it open, post a comment or remove the stale

Closing older-bot-filed CI issues as we transition to a more reliable system.
