The data is then sent over the INPUT-end (transmit-end) of the channel to the remote peer. Data sent by the peer is received on the OUTPUT-end (receive-end), saved in the output buffer and written to the socket. .PP If the local protocol instance has forwarded all data on the INPUT-end of the channel, it sends an EOF message to the peer. .PP A CLOSE message is sent to the peer if both the INPUT- and the OUTOUT-half of the local end of the channel are closed. .PP The channel can be deallocated by a protocol instance if a CLOSE message he been both sent and received.
