+    transport layer. The transport layer then guarantees the following:
+     -- Sends shutdown to the client (for eg: HTTP2 transport sends GOAWAY)
+     -- If the server has outstanding calls that are in the process, the
+        connection is NOT closed until the server is done with all those calls
+     -- Once, there are no more calls in progress, the channel is closed
