| what are IRC servers? |
| |
| IRC servers allow users to chat with friends using the IRC protocol. |

| overview: |
| |
| |
IRC servers allow you to use the IRC protocol to chat with friends by supporting connections from users' IRC Clients. These servers are typically run on high-speed internet connections (such as a T1). This allows an IRC server to support a large number of client connections with minimal lag. |

The rules, policies, and other server/network specific information can typically be found in the server's motd. |

| technical note: |
| |
The client/server model is probably the most common method used for internet protocols. In this model, a client connects to a server and receives data transmitted by the server. The server handles how information is transferred to other users and also receives data from its clients. This is a many to one mapping. |
