That is, other IRC clients will not see one typing and editing as one does so. An IRC client is a program that connects to a given IRC server in order to have the server relay communications to and from other clients on the same network but not necessarily the same server. Each network is composed of one or more IRC servers. A client logged into one network can communicate only with other clients on the same network, not with clients on other networks. There are perhaps hundreds of IRC networks in the world each one running parallel and disjoint from the others. IRC's largest unit of architecture is the IRC network. Today IRC has a very wide range of users and anyone can find a place to participate in chat. The specification " RFC 1459: Internet Relay Chat Protocol" is a really excellent source for both an introduction to and detailed information about the IRC protocol. According to, the official specification for IRC was written in 1993 in the RFC format. Formally, IRC is a real-time text-based multi-user communication protocol specification and implementation, which relays messages between users on the network.Īccording to, IRC was born sometime in 1988.
