Well, it is explicitly not allowed: 2) If Hop Count is non zero and Hop Pointer is in the range 1 Hop Pointer < Hop Count, this SMI is an intermediate hop in the directed route portion of the path. If the node is not a switch, the SMI shall discard the SMP, otherwise the SMI shall alter the contents of the directed route SMP as follows: > Even if this is considered vague there would be a problem a xCA was allowed. That sort of behavior is explicitly disallowed in other cases, like reading port info.
