my understanding is that the local sa does a path-query where all the fields
except for the SGID are wildcard-ed. This means we expect the result to be a
table of all the paths from this port to every other port on the fabrics for
every pkey which this port is a member of etc, correct?

How do you plug here  the QoS concept of SID in the path query? are you
expecting the SA to realize what are all the services for which this port is
a "member"? does the proposed definision for QoS management at the SA
defines "services per gids" isn't it "what SL to user per Service"?

Or.
