After reading this thread over and giving it some thought, I like IoBuffer best. It's the most consistent with the rest of the API. DataBuffer would be my second pick.

Hi folks,

It is often confusing to discriminate MINA ByteBuffer and NIO
ByteBuffer.  Do we need renaming?  I didn't have much difficulties
actually because most Java code doesn't use both types at the same
time.

There was an opinion about renaming it to MinaByteBuffer, but I don't
think it's the best name available for us.  I think DataBuffer,
ExtendedByteBuffer, ExtendedBuffer or just Buffer might also be a
candidate.  There's Buffer in NIO, too, but nobody uses that class
directly.

I'd like to find the best name; short and not confusing one.  Please
don't hesitate to respond to this message with your idea so we can
find out the best alternative.
