22   * Represents the globally unique identifier of a {@link Channel}.
23   * <p>
24   * The identifier is generated from various sources listed in the following:
25   * <ul>
26   * <li>MAC address (EUI-48 or EUI-64) or the network adapter, preferably a globally unique one,</li>
27   * <li>the current process ID,</li>
28   * <li>{@link System#currentTimeMillis()},</li>
29   * <li>{@link System#nanoTime()},</li>
30   * <li>a random 32-bit integer, and</li>
31   * <li>a sequentially incremented 32-bit integer.</li>
32   * </ul>
33   * </p>
34   * <p>
35   * The global uniqueness of the generated identifier mostly depends on the MAC address and the current process ID,
36   * which are auto-detected at the class-loading time in best-effort manner.  If all attempts to acquire them fail,
37   * a warning message is logged, and random values will be used instead.  Alternatively, you can specify them manually
38   * via system properties:
39   * <ul>
40   * <li>{@code io.netty.machineId} - hexadecimal representation of 48 (or 64) bit integer,
41   *     optionally separated by colon or hyphen.</li>
42   * <li>{@code io.netty.processId} - an integer between 0 and 65535</li>
43   * </ul>
44   * </p>
