Every data flow will go thru
a sensor ->
    -> the pipenline ->
        -> collector (can contain a application, a internal procedure or a
overflow subnet) ->
            -> visual (GUI or whatever).
This currently goes pretty slow. Lots of IIOP traffic and memory access.  I'm
currently coding
a benchmark plugin.. more on this later.

NOTE that the collector can also read it's own data from disk, open local
sockets, etc
BUT it will be authenticated\controlled\bla-bla-bla.

Hehe.. I think the concept of just using the overflow library for subnets caused
some confusion :)

Fine. I will erase 'Application wrapping' of my TODO..
why was there so much email needed for this concept 8)
