 # Understanding Active Channels
 
-The Interchain Accounts module uses [ORDERED channels](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/tree/master/spec/core/ics-004-channel-and-packet-semantics#ordering) to maintain the order of transactions when sending packets from a controller to a host chain. A limitation when using ORDERED channels is that when a packet times out the channel will be closed.
+The Interchain Accounts module uses either [ORDERED or UNORDERED](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/tree/master/spec/core/ics-004-channel-and-packet-semantics#ordering) channels. 
+
+When using `ORDERED` channels, the order of transactions when sending packets from a controller to a host chain is maintained.
+
+When using `UNORDERED` channels, there is no guarantee that the order of transactions when sending packets from the controller to the host chain is maintained.

 In the case of a channel closing, a controller chain needs to be able to regain access to the interchain account registered on this channel. `Active Channels` enable this functionality.
