ChannelPipeline

A ChannelPipeline is a container of [[ChannelHandler]]s that handles or intercepts inbound events and outbound operations of a [[Channel]].^[600-developer-big-data-netty-netty-Channel.md]

It functions as an interceptor filter chain, allowing users to control how events and operations are processed as they flow through the pipeline.^[600-developer-big-data-netty-netty-Channel.md]

Creation and Lifecycle

The pipeline is automatically initialized during the construction of a [[Channel]].^[600-developer-big-data-netty-netty-Channel.md] For example, within the constructor of AbstractChannel (which is the parent class for implementations like NioServerSocketChannel), the pipeline field is assigned by calling newChannelPipeline().^[600-developer-big-data-netty-netty-Channel.md]
