EventLoop (Netty API Reference (4.2.1.Final))

All Superinterfaces:

EventExecutor, EventExecutorGroup, EventLoopGroup, java.util.concurrent.Executor, java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService, java.lang.Iterable<EventExecutor>, OrderedEventExecutor, java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService, ThreadAwareExecutor

All Known Subinterfaces:

IoEventLoop

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractEventLoop, DefaultEventLoop, EpollEventLoop, ManualIoEventLoop, NioEventLoop, SingleThreadEventLoop, SingleThreadIoEventLoop, ThreadPerChannelEventLoop
```
public interface EventLoop
extends OrderedEventExecutor, 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.
