  * Jan: issues with PAPI for scale tests - lots of entries in PAPI

    lines for all scale tests (for MAC, IPv4, IPv6);  (mackonstan,
    14:30:12)
  * Jan: separate issue is the actual logging of cmds - several times -
    need fix. Proposal over email.  (mackonstan, 14:34:22)
  * Vratko: PAPI over remote socket improves PAPI performance, but still
    not fast enough due to synchronous operation 1k commands/sec
    (mackonstan, 14:36:02)
  * Vratko: solution is asynchronous operation, this needs some thinking
    (mackonstan, 14:36:33)

    final for the ready-to-go solution  (pmikus, 14:42:37)
