/**
 * Represents the globally unique identifier of a {@link Channel}.
 * 

* The identifier is generated from various sources listed in the following: *

    *
  • MAC address (EUI-48 or EUI-64) or the network adapter, preferably a globally unique one,
  • *
  • the current process ID,
  • *
  • {@link System#currentTimeMillis()},
  • *
  • {@link System#nanoTime()},
  • *
  • a random 32-bit integer, and
  • *
  • a sequentially incremented 32-bit integer.
  • *
*

*

* The global uniqueness of the generated identifier mostly depends on the MAC address and the current process ID, * which are auto-detected at the class-loading time in best-effort manner. If all attempts to acquire them fail, * a warning message is logged, and random values will be used instead. Alternatively, you can specify them manually * via system properties: *

    *
  • {@code io.netty.machineId} - hexadecimal representation of 48 (or 64) bit integer, * optionally separated by colon or hyphen.
  • *
  • {@code io.netty.processId} - an integer between 0 and 65535
  • *
