IChannel openChannel()
              throws ChannelException
```
    Synchronous request to open a new IChannel with an undefined channel protocol. Since the peer connector can't lookup a protocol factory without a protocol identifier the IBufferHandler of the peer IChannel can only be provided by externally provided channel lifecycle listeners.
    
    Throws:

    Synchronous request to open a new IChannel with a channel protocol defined by a given protocol identifier. The peer connector will lookup a protocol factory with the protocol identifier, create a IBufferHandler and inject it into the peer IChannel.
