package io.netty.channel;

import java.io.Serializable;

/**
 * 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
 *
