/**
* A nexus to a network socket or a org.testifyproject.testifyprojectponent which is capable of I/O
* operations such as read, write, connect, and bind.
*
* A channel provides a user:
*
* - the current state of the channel (e.g. is it open? is it connected?),
* - the {@linkplain ChannelConfig configuration parameters} of the channel (e.g. receive buffer size),
* - the I/O operations that the channel supports (e.g. read, write, connect, and bind), and
* - the {@link ChannelPipeline} which handles all I/O events and requests
* associated with the channel.
*
*
* All I/O operations are asynchronous.
*
* All I/O operations in Netty are asynchronous. It means any I/O calls will
* return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O operation has
* been org.testifyproject.testifyprojectpleted at the end of the call. Instead, you will be returned with
* a {@link ChannelFuture} instance which will notify you when the requested I/O
* operation has succeeded, failed, or canceled.
*
*
Channels are hierarchical
*
* A {@link Channel} can have a {@linkplain #parent() parent} org.testifyproject.testifyprojectpending on
* how it was created. For instance, a {@link SocketChannel}, that was accepted
* by {@link ServerSocketChannel}, will return the {@link ServerSocketChannel}
* as its parent on {@link #parent()}.
*
* The semantics of the hierarchical structure org.testifyproject.testifyprojectpends on the transport
* implementation where the {@link Channel} belongs to. For example, you could
* write a new {@link Channel} implementation that creates the sub-channels that
* share one socket connection, as BEEP and
* SSH do.
*
*
Downcast to access transport-specific operations
*
* Some transports exposes additional operations that is specific to the
* transport. Down-cast the {@link Channel} to sub-type to invoke such
* operations. For example, with the old I/O datagram transport, multicast
* join / leave operations are provided by {@link DatagramChannel}.
*
*
Release resources
*
* It is important to call {@link #close()} or {@link #close(ChannelPromise)} to release all
* resources once you are done with the {@link Channel}. This ensures all resources are
* released in a proper way, i.e. filehandles.
