[ofa-general] [query] Multi path discovery in openSM

What is the exact significance of the configurable option LMC
in the opensm.conf file?

If there are multiple paths between two end nodes in a network and
I set the LMC > 0 then whether the openSM itself identifies those
routes and updates the switch forwarding tables or is it the duty of some
other consumer ??

And after configuring multiple paths between end nodes, how exactly they
are used for path redundancy and load sharing.
Again is it the duty of the openSM (in case any SM) or the application?

PS: Please CC your valuable responses to my e-mail address.

regards,
Mahesh
