				|  |  | +=============================
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +If an RPC is issued but the channel is in `TRANSIENT_FAILURE` or `SHUTDOWN`
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +states, the RPC is unable to be transmited promptly. By default, gRPC
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +implementations SHOULD fail such RPCs immediately. This is known as "fail fast,"
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +but usage of the term is historical. RPCs SHOULD NOT fail as a result of the
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +channel being in other states (`CONNECTING`, `READY`, or `IDLE`).
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +gRPC implementations MAY provide a per-RPC option to not fail RPCs as a result
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +of the channel being in `TRANSIENT_FAILURE` state. Instead, the implementation
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +queues the RPCs until the channel is `READY`. This is known as "wait for ready."
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +The RPCs SHOULD still fail before `READY` if there are unrelated reasons, such
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +as the channel is `SHUTDOWN` or the RPC's deadline is reached.
