One more related question:<div><br></div><div>Considering the following constructor:</div><div><br></div><div><div>public NioServerSocketChannelFactory(</div><div> Executor bossExecutor, Executor workerExecutor,</div>
<div> int workerCount)</div><div><br></div><div>How is workerCount ad workerExecutor (and its pool size) related? Isn't the number of I/O worker threads fixed by the workerExecutor? What happens if I pass a Executors.newFixedThreadPool(8) as workerThreads to this constructor?</div>

Actually by digging more into documentation and source code I think I understood the difference. Anyway let me restate what I understood:<div>
<br></div><div>There are two types of "worker" thread pools in Netty. First one (set in <span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px">NioServerSocketChannelFactory constructor</span> ) 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?</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The first one is used for boss threads and the second one is for worker threads. A worker thread performs actual reads and writes. A boss thread accepts a new incoming connection or makes a new connection attempt. Once a new connection is accepted or a connection attempt succeeds, the new channel is handed off to one of the worker threads. For now, there's no way to set the boss thread count.<br>
