Worker threads in NioServerSocketChannelFactory vs. ExecutionHandler

[Ersin Er]

Well, I guess I could not ask the question the right way. Actually by
digging more into documentation and source code I think I understood the
difference. Anyway let me restate what I understood:

There are two types of "worker" thread pools in Netty. First one (set
in NioServerSocketChannelFactory
constructor ) is responsible for doing I/O operations and the second one
(added as a handler to the pipeline, namely ExecutionHandler) is responsible
for application logic. Right?

Thanks.
