public InetSocketAddress localAddress()

Redeclares io.netty.channel.Channel.localAddress.

Doc from io.netty.channel.Channel.localAddress.

Returns the local address where this channel is bound to. The returned SocketAddress is supposed to be down-cast into more concrete type such as InetSocketAddress to retrieve the detailed information.

Returns:InetSocketAddress

the local address of this channel. null if this channel is not bound.

public ServerSocketChannel parent()

Redeclares io.netty.channel.Channel.parent.

Doc from io.netty.channel.Channel.parent.

Returns the parent of this channel.

Returns:ServerSocketChannel

the parent channel. null if this channel does not have a parent channel.

public InetSocketAddress remoteAddress()

Redeclares io.netty.channel.Channel.remoteAddress.

Doc from io.netty.channel.Channel.remoteAddress.

Returns the remote address where this channel is connected to. The returned SocketAddress is supposed to be down-cast into more concrete type such as InetSocketAddress to retrieve the detailed information.

Returns:InetSocketAddress

the remote address of this channel. null if this channel is not connected. If this channel is not connected but it can receive messages from arbitrary remote addresses (e.g. DatagramChannel, use DatagramPacket#recipient() to determine the origination of the received message as this method will return null.
