    I don't know what ssh and nc you are using, but on Ubuntu, comments are allowed in .ssh/config only on their own line, and nc -G isn't; it's nc -w. Commented Sep 6, 2021 at 5:27

    I prefer passive checks e.g. nmcli d show|grep, ip -o addretc, they are much faster; for virtual network ping maybe more preferable since it support specifying outgoing interface ping -I docker0 172.17.0.1 which fails instantly if the interface is not up. Commented Oct 3, 2022 at 10:00
