io.netty.channel.Channel

Packages that use Channel

Package	Description
io.netty.bootstrap	The helper classes with fluent API which enable an easy implementation of typical client side and server side channel initialization.
io.netty.channel	The core channel API which is asynchronous and event-driven abstraction of various transports such as a NIO Channel.
io.netty.channel.embedded	A virtual Channel that helps wrapping a series of handlers to unit test the handlers or use them in non-I/O context.
io.netty.channel.group	A channel registry which helps a user maintain the list of open Channels and perform bulk operations on them.
io.netty.channel.local	A virtual transport that enables the communication between the two parties in the same virtual machine.
io.netty.channel.nio	NIO-based channel API implementation - recommended for a large number of connections (>= 1000).
io.netty.channel.oio	Old blocking I/O based channel API implementation - recommended for a small number of connections (< 1000).
io.netty.channel.socket	Abstract TCP and UDP socket interfaces which extend the core channel API.
