Apache MINA (Multipurpose Infrastructure for Network Applications). It also makes it easy to make an implementation of custom transport type. MINA provides both high-level and low-level network APIs.
A user application interacts with MINA APIs, shielding the user application from low level
I/O details. MINA internally uses I/O APIs to perform the actual I/O functions. This makes it easy for the users to concentrate on the application logic and leave the I/O handling to Apache MINA.[3]
