You should NOT assume that all gateways actually have the entire mesh encap table loaded.
Some only load a partial table to those networks they want to reach. You'd have to
check with each gateway operator to verify which encap routes are
actually loaded if you can't reach any of the net-44 nodes behind their gateway.
And of course the encap table does not tell you anything about which 44-net address is
used by the gateway itself.
So there is no way you can check if you can reach the gateway.
(even if you would know the address of the gateway there is no guarantee that it will
reply to detection attempts)
It has already been made clear to mr "Please Advice" that lots of operators do
not appreciate what he is doing.
Unfortunately, he rarely listens to the advice he is constantly asking for....
