Motivation: There are protocols (BGP, SXP), which are typically deployed with TCP MD5 authentication to protect sessions from being hijacked/torn down by third parties. This facility is not available on most operating systems, but is typically present on Linux. Modifications: - add a new EpollChannelOption, which is write-only - teach Epoll(Server)SocketChannel to track which addresses have keys associated - teach Native how to set the MD5 signature keys for a socket Result: Users of the native-epoll transport can set MD5 signature keys and thus leverage RFC-2385 protection on TCP connections.

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 Oracle JDK 7
- 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+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
