  To make the GGS scalable both types of scalability are needed.
  Structural scalability means in our case that it should be possible to
  add more servers to an existing cluster of servers.
  By adding more servers the limits of how many users a system can have is
  increased.
  Load scalability in contrast to structural scalability is not about how

- Instead it means how good the system handles increased load.
