44.0.0.0/8 is, in fact, one network, as specified in RFC1166.
This predates CIDR, and it's not valid for anything in today's internet other than establishing the provenance of 44/8 ownership by ARDC.
Many folk have noted that they don't wish to have their allocation connect to others

44.0.0.0/8 is announced - your argument that 44/8 is not one network fails on that one notion.
44/8 is not one network, claiming so is like saying the Internet is one network.
You mentioned spoofing. This is the reason the encap file and route table should be kept private. Only other amateurs would know the location of the other endpoints.
Wow, did you just make a security though obscurity argument? I don't trust anything with a 44.x address, and you shouldn't either.
