EventLoop (Netty 4.1.75.Final API)

All Superinterfaces:

EventExecutor, EventExecutorGroup, EventLoopGroup, Executor, ExecutorService, Iterable<EventExecutor>, OrderedEventExecutor, ScheduledExecutorService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractEventLoop, DefaultEventLoop, NioEventLoop, SingleThreadEventLoop, 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.
