Hi, Jiangjie, 3. If a client closes a socket connection, typically the server only finds this out by reading from the channel and getting a negative size during the read. So, if a channel is muted by the server, the server won't be able to detect the closing of the connection by the client after the socket is unmuted. That's probably what Rajini wants to convey.
