Epoll_native non-blocking transport for Linux
Epoll_native non-blocking transport for Linux As we explained earlier, Netty’s NIO transport is based on the common abstraction for asynchronous/non-blocking networking provided by Java. Although this ensures that Netty’s non-blocking API will be usable on any platform, it also entails limitations, because the JDK has to make compromises(妥协,折中) in order to deliver the same capabilities on all systems. The growing importance of Linux as a platform for high-performance networking has led to the development of a number of advanced features, including epoll, a highly scalable I/O event
