* a response, it invokes the {@link #close()} method
* to indicate that the transport does not need to keep
* the channel for the response message open.
*
*
* This allows the transport to close down the communication
* channel sooner than wainting for
* {@link PipeHead#process}
* method to return, thereby improving the overall throughput
* of the system.
