If that were to be done, it would need to be done via a vendor specific
SM query as there is no standard for IB routing algorithms or reporting
this to other nodes. It would not work with other SMs or prior OpenSMs.
Is this really needed over IB ? Isn't some remote access to the SM node
sufficient for this and then use one of the methods previously described
on the list ?
