[EZ] Anyway this capability already exists in IBDM. So why re-develop it
again?
Also you did not answer the first question.
Is the implementation open to support definition of hierarchical internal IB
network like the one embedded in a 288port switch?

[EZ] It was uploaded with the simulator. It is a separate library: IBDM.
The simulator uses it to define the topology that is simulated.

[EZ] If nobody remembers what they were maybe they are not so subtle and
critical?
