  - forAddress
```
@CheckReturnValue
public static NettyChannelBuilder forAddress(SocketAddress serverAddress)
```
    Creates a new builder with the given server address. This factory method is primarily intended for using Netty Channel types other than SocketChannel. forAddress(String, int) should generally be preferred over this method, since that API permits delaying DNS lookups and noticing changes to DNS. If an unresolved InetSocketAddress is passed in, then it will remain unresolved.
  - forAddress
```

                                                               io.grpc.ChannelCredentials creds)
```
    Creates a new builder with the given server address. This factory method is primarily intended for using Netty Channel types other than SocketChannel. forAddress(String, int, ChannelCredentials) should generally be preferred over this method, since that API permits delaying DNS lookups and noticing changes to DNS. If an unresolved InetSocketAddress is passed in, then it will remain unresolved.

  - delegate
```
@Internal
protected io.grpc.ManagedChannelBuilder<?> delegate()
```
    Specified by:
    
    delegate in class io.grpc.internal.AbstractManagedChannelImplBuilder<NettyChannelBuilder>
  - channelType
```
public NettyChannelBuilder channelType(Class<? extends io.netty.channel.Channel> channelType)
```
    Specifies the channel type to use, by default we use EpollSocketChannel if available, otherwise using NioSocketChannel.
    You either use this or channelFactory(io.netty.channel.ChannelFactory) if your Channel implementation has no no-args constructor.
    It's an optional parameter. If the user has not provided an Channel type or ChannelFactory when the channel is built, the builder will use the default one which is static.
    You must also provide corresponding eventLoopGroup(EventLoopGroup). For example, NioSocketChannel must use NioEventLoopGroup, otherwise your application won't start.
  - channelFactory
```
public NettyChannelBuilder channelFactory(io.netty.channel.ChannelFactory<? extends io.netty.channel.Channel> channelFactory)
```
    Specifies the ChannelFactory to create Channel instances. This method is usually only used if the specific Channel requires complex logic which requires additional information to create the Channel. Otherwise, recommend to use channelType(Class).
    It's an optional parameter. If the user has not provided an Channel type or ChannelFactory when the channel is built, the builder will use the default one which is static.
    You must also provide corresponding eventLoopGroup(EventLoopGroup). For example, NioSocketChannel based ChannelFactory must use NioEventLoopGroup, otherwise your application won't start.
  - withOption
```
public <T> NettyChannelBuilder withOption(io.netty.channel.ChannelOption<T> option,
                                          T value)
```
    Specifies a channel option. As the underlying channel as well as network implementation may ignore this value applications should consider it a hint.
  - negotiationType
```
public NettyChannelBuilder negotiationType(NegotiationType type)
```
    Sets the negotiation type for the HTTP/2 connection.
    Default: TLS
  - eventLoopGroup
```
public NettyChannelBuilder eventLoopGroup(@Nullable
                                          io.netty.channel.EventLoopGroup eventLoopGroup)
```
    Provides an EventGroupLoop to be used by the netty transport.
    It's an optional parameter. If the user has not provided an EventGroupLoop when the channel is built, the builder will use the default one which is static.
    You must also provide corresponding channelType(Class) or channelFactory(ChannelFactory) corresponding to the given EventLoopGroup. For example, NioEventLoopGroup requires NioSocketChannel
    The channel won't take ownership of the given EventLoopGroup. It's caller's responsibility to shut it down when it's desired.
  - sslContext
```
public NettyChannelBuilder sslContext(io.netty.handler.ssl.SslContext sslContext)
```
    SSL/TLS context to use instead of the system default. It must have been configured with GrpcSslContexts, but options could have been overridden.
  - initialFlowControlWindow
```
public NettyChannelBuilder initialFlowControlWindow(int initialFlowControlWindow)
```
    Sets the initial flow control window in bytes. Setting initial flow control window enables auto flow control tuning using bandwidth-delay product algorithm. To disable auto flow control tuning, use flowControlWindow(int). By default, auto flow control is enabled with initial flow control window size of DEFAULT_FLOW_CONTROL_WINDOW.
  - flowControlWindow
```
public NettyChannelBuilder flowControlWindow(int flowControlWindow)
```
    Sets the flow control window in bytes. Setting flowControlWindow disables auto flow control tuning; use initialFlowControlWindow(int) to enable auto flow control tuning. If not called, the default value is DEFAULT_FLOW_CONTROL_WINDOW) with auto flow control tuning.
  - maxHeaderListSize
```
@Deprecated
public NettyChannelBuilder maxHeaderListSize(int maxHeaderListSize)
```
    Deprecated. Use maxInboundMetadataSize(int) instead
    
    Sets the maximum size of header list allowed to be received. This is cumulative size of the headers with some overhead, as defined for HTTP/2's SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE. The default is 8 KiB.
  - maxInboundMetadataSize
```
public NettyChannelBuilder maxInboundMetadataSize(int bytes)
```
    Sets the maximum size of metadata allowed to be received. This is cumulative size of the entries with some overhead, as defined for HTTP/2's SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE. The default is 8 KiB.
    
    Overrides:
    
    maxInboundMetadataSize in class io.grpc.internal.AbstractManagedChannelImplBuilder<NettyChannelBuilder>

  - maxInboundMessageSize
```
public NettyChannelBuilder maxInboundMessageSize(int max)
