Hi I am new to jBoss netty.I was doing a sample using ClientBootStrap and ServerBootStrap and both of them posses individual ChannelFactory instances.
My confusion is that when the client connect to server, is this connection called the Channel ? or the client and server sides will keep separate Channels and client Channel connect to Server Channel?.
Can anyone clarify it.
The connection is between the two channels. The word 'channel' comes from NIO, and it's a poor choice, when you think about it. 'Socket' expresses it better: it's an endpoint of a connection.
