    Returns the responsible protocol adapter for southbound output.
    
    Parameters:
    
    channel - the channel data was received from, may be DEFAULT_CHANNEL
    
    data - the data object
    
    Returns:
    
    the protocol adapter (must not be null)
  - selectNorthInput
```
ProtocolAdapter<O,I,CO,CI> selectNorthInput(CI data)
```
    Returns the responsible protocol adapter for northbound input. So far, the channel is implicit.
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - the data object
