Abstract
NIO provides multiplexed I/O (a combination of nonblocking I/O, discussed in Chapter 7, and readiness selection, discussed in Chapter 8) to facilitate the creation of highly scalable servers. Client code registers a socket channel with a selector to be notified when the channel is ready to start I/O.
