=head1 DESCRIPTION

ibdiagpath traces a path between two end-points and provides information
regarding the nodes and ports traversed along the path. It utilizes device
specific health queries for the different devices along the traversed path.
The way ibdiagpath operates depends on the addressing mode used on the command
line. If directed route adressing is used, the local node is the source node
and the route to the destination port is known apriori.
On the other hand, if LID route (or by-name) addressing is imployed,
then the source and destination ports of a route are specified by their LIDs
(or by the names defined in the topology file). In this case, the actual path
from the local port to the source port, and from the source port to the
destination port, is defined by means of Subnet Management Linear Forwarding
Table queries of the switch nodes along those paths. Therefore, the path
cannot be predicted as it may change.
The tool allows omitting the source node, in which case the local port on the
machine running the tool is assumed to be the source.
Note: When ibdiagpath queries for the performance counters along the path between
the source and destination ports, it always traverses the LID route, even if a
directed route is specified. If along the LID route one or more links are not
in the ACTIVE state, ibdiagpath reports an error.
Checks for path validity from partitions, IPoIB and QoS perspectives are also provided.
