Let's say we want to get all paths between SGID A and DGID B, LMC=15 and
so there could be 256 possible paths (assuming that differences are only
in LIDs). Our first query will return 128 paths, then we will need to
query SGID/SLID -> DGID for each SLID above base LID A + 7, obviously
all this will require more queries, will pend more traffic and will hurt
SA scalability more than if there would unlimited (or limited as 256)
NumbPath.

This also could be good point. Any example?
