What is the best way to close channels on the server side?

[孙佩]

Hi Netty users,

    I have a couple of questions about how netty deals with channel close.

 

    1. On the client side, I use channel pool. On the server side, how should I close the channel when the channel on the client side is closed? If I don't close, will there be any resource leak?

     2. If the client's machine is turned down without closing and I don't have any mechanism on the server side to ping client periodically, will there be resource leak (or connection leak)? 

Thanks a lot.
