io.netty.channel

Interface EventLoop

All Superinterfaces:

EventExecutor, EventExecutorGroup, EventLoopGroup, Executor, ExecutorService, ScheduledExecutorService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractEventLoop, DefaultEventLoop, NioEventLoop, SingleThreadEventLoop, ThreadPerChannelEventLoop

public interface EventLoop
extends EventExecutor, EventLoopGroup

Will handle all the I/O-Operations for a Channel once it was registered. One EventLoop instance will usually handle more then one Channel but this may depend on implementation details and internals.
