Interface EventLoop

All Superinterfaces:

EventExecutor, EventExecutorGroup, EventLoopGroup, Executor, ExecutorService, Iterable<EventExecutor>, 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 registered. One EventLoop instance will usually handle more than one Channel but this may depend on implementation details and internals.
