30  /**
31   * A {@link DatagramChannelFactory} that creates a NIO-based connectionless
32   * {@link DatagramChannel}. It utilizes the non-blocking I/O mode which
33   * was introduced with NIO to serve many number of concurrent connections
34   * efficiently.
35   *
36   * <h3>How threads work</h3>
37   * <p>
38   * There is only one thread type in a {@link NioDatagramChannelFactory};
39   * worker threads.
40   *
41   * <h4>Worker threads</h4>
42   * <p>
43   * One {@link NioDatagramChannelFactory} can have one or more worker
44   * threads.  A worker thread performs non-blocking read and write for one or
45   * more {@link DatagramChannel}s in a non-blocking mode.
46   *
47   * <h3>Life cycle of threads and graceful shutdown</h3>
48   * <p>
49   * All worker threads are acquired from the {@link Executor} which was specified
50   * when a {@link NioDatagramChannelFactory} was created.  Therefore, you should
51   * make sure the specified {@link Executor} is able to lend the sufficient
52   * number of threads.  It is the best bet to specify
53   * {@linkplain Executors#newCachedThreadPool() a cached thread pool}.
54   * <p>
55   * All worker threads are acquired lazily, and then released when there's
56   * nothing left to process.  All the related resources such as {@link Selector}
57   * are also released when the worker threads are released.  Therefore, to shut
58   * down a service gracefully, you should do the following:
59   *
60   * <ol>
61   * <li>close all channels created by the factory usually using
62   *     {@link ChannelGroup#close()}, and</li>
63   * <li>call {@link #releaseExternalResources()}.</li>
64   * </ol>
65   *
66   * Please make sure not to shut down the executor until all channels are
67   * closed.  Otherwise, you will end up with a {@link RejectedExecutionException}
68   * and the related resources might not be released properly.
69   *
70   * <h3>Limitation</h3>
71   * <p>
72   * Multicast is not supported.  Please use {@link OioDatagramChannelFactory}
73   * instead.
