MPR does allow for better selection of paths for APM though.
Beyond adding the Independence Selector, does MPR add anything else?
I assume that the Independence Selector works when paths between multiple GIDs
are requested. Have you thought about how to expose this capability to a client
in such a way that they can make use of it?
To me, this feature seems most useful for all-to-all type connections, but would
require some sort of coordination between connecting end-points in order to have
fault independent connections between different nodes. E.g. the connection from
A to B is independent from the connection between C and D.
Also, for large fabrics, even MPR seems limited by the GID counts being 8-bits.
