SSH tunnelling (as in OpenSSH) opens one persistent connection and
multiplexes tunnelled TCP sessions inside it.

TLS tunnelling (as in stunnel) does not keep any persistent
connection.  It uses separate TCP connections created on demand for
individual tunnelled TCP sessions.  This is a better approach for many
reasons, including reliability, bandwidth management, and power
consumption (no keepalives are needed on battery powered devices to
survive timeouts on NATs and stateful firewalls).
