Support TCP Fast Open for clients and make SslHandler take advantage Motivation: - TCP Fast Open allow us to send a small amount of data along side the initial SYN packet when establishing a TCP connection. - The TLS Client Hello packet is small enough to fit in there, and is also idempotent (another requirement for using TCP Fast Open), so if we can save a round-trip when establishing TLS connections when using TFO. Modification: - Add support for client-side TCP Fast Open for Epoll, and also lowers the Linux kernel version requirements to 3.6. - When adding the SslHandler to a pipeline, if TCP Fast Open is enabled for the channel (and the channel is not already active) then start the handshake early by writing it to the outbound buffer. - An important detail to note here, is that the outbound buffer is not flushed at this point, like it would for normal handshakes. The flushing happens later as part of establishing the TCP connection. Result: - It is now possible for clients (on epoll) to open connections with TCP Fast Open. - The SslHandler automatically detects when this is the case, and now send its Client Hello message as part of the initial data in the TCP Fast Open flow when available, saving a round-trip when establishing TLS connections.

Netty Project
Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable OpenJDK 8
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+ / 4.1+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.1 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.1' respectively.
Usage with JDK 9+
Netty can be used in modular JDK9+ applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:
io.netty.allio.netty.bufferio.netty.codecio.netty.codec.dnsio.netty.codec.haproxyio.netty.codec.httpio.netty.codec.http2io.netty.codec.memcacheio.netty.codec.mqttio.netty.codec.redisio.netty.codec.smtpio.netty.codec.socksio.netty.codec.stompio.netty.codec.xmlio.netty.commonio.netty.handlerio.netty.handler.proxyio.netty.resolverio.netty.resolver.dnsio.netty.transportio.netty.transport.epoll(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.kqueue(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.unix.common(nativeomitted - reserved keyword in Java)io.netty.transport.rxtxio.netty.transport.sctpio.netty.transport.udt
Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately
in your module-info file.
