A transport chain consists of one or more types of channels, each of which supports a different type of I/O protocol, such as TCP, DCS. or HTTP. Network ports can be shared among all of the channels within a chain. The channel framework function automatically distributes a request arriving on that port to the correct I/O protocol channel for processing.

There are no outbound chanels defined for webcontainer in WAS to avoid n/w traffic between client and WebSphere.
Whenever webcontainer get requests it open 2 streams one is Inputstream(to read input data from client) and another one outstream(to send output data to client) internally using the chanel defined in the webcontainer.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks
