Uses of Interface
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.socket	Abstract TCP and UDP socket interfaces which extend the core channel API.
io.netty.channel.socket.aio	NIO2-based socket channel API implementation - recommended for a large number of connections (>= 1000).
io.netty.channel.socket.nio	NIO-based socket channel API implementation - recommended for a large number of connections (>= 1000).
io.netty.channel.socket.oio	Old blocking I/O based socket channel API implementation - recommended for a small number of connections (< 1000).
