Channels

A channel is a communications endpoint corresponding to an OS connection stream (e.g. UDP/IPC), and is divided into virtual sub-channels called 'streams'. Aeron multiplexes and demultiplexes streams from the physical connection.

Channel -1--n- [Stream]
Stream -1--n- [Image]

Channels are aeron URLs of the form:

aeron:<protocol>?<protocol_option>|<protocol_option>|<protocol_option>....

E.g. for UDP

aeron:udp?endpoint=localhost:40123|interface=192.168.0.0/24

For IPC

aeron:ipc
