We are running jenkins jobs remotely on ECS build nodes connected via JNLP using the remoting agent. These build nodes connect successfully every time but after some execution time has lapsed, the JNLP connection is terminated causing the build job to fail with the following stack trace:

In the Jenkins logs we see the following stack trace:

The closest post I found was from a user running the build nodes on windows and Jenkins was behind an AWS ELB. My build nodes are linux and jenkins is not behind an ELB.
