Single HL7 data stream routed to an application and response is sent back	Single incoming HL7 data stream is filtered, transformed, and routed to multiple destinations	Single incoming HL7 data stream is routed to multiple destinations which each have a unique filter and transformer	Similar to Router. The output of any of the channels is chained to other channels for further processing, before final delivery.
