      Specified by:
      getRemoteAddress in interface Channel
      Returns:
      the remote address of this channel. null if this channel is not connected. If this channel is not connected but it can receive messages from arbitrary remote addresses (e.g. DatagramChannel, use MessageEvent.getRemoteAddress() to determine the origination of the received message as this method will return null.
