For IPv6 SNM it was never implemented, so my rework meets an original plan. And in general it is an interesting question. Do we really need to care about those parameters while doing MGID to MLID compression? SA will reply properly MGID "based" queries, an "extra" packets will be dropped anyway, likely sooner is better, no? > > This solution should be fully IBA complaint. > > Why the should qualification ?

The only needed change I found is in the usage message and man page, but there is nothing about IBA compliance.
