I wouldn't call it so, it is rather "parallel" than "first" depth or
breath - discovery continues at first responding node doesn't matter how
was it queried in depth or in breath.

Right, hops count should be limited. I will add this.

I think so. The difference is that OpenSM has a limit of outstanding
MADs on the wire and subnet_discover doesn't (and there could be a lot
of MADs).

Thanks.

An errors are response timeouts. I guess that most of them are due
to switches' VL15 overflow (could be verified by VL15Dropped counter
evaluation). Will look at this deeply.
