Explanation

Tunneling is a technique that allows one network protocol to be encapsulated or carried within another network protocol. In this scenario, encrypted unusual SSH traffic flow over nonstandard ports indicates the possibility of SSH traffic being encapsulated or tunneled within another protocol, such as using a nonstandard port or a different protocol to mask the SSH traffic. Tunneling enables the concealment or redirection of traffic through unconventional paths or ports, which can be utilized to bypass standard network security measures or monitoring.
