9.4.5 ibtracert
ibtracert uses SMPs to trace the path from a source GID/LID to a destination GID/LID. Each hop
along the path is displayed until the destination is reached or a hop does not respond. By using
the -m option, multicast path tracing can be performed between source and destination nodes.
