-Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a protocol that was invented by Jarkko Okarinen. There are two essential parts to the protocol, the server and the client. The client (point a) connects to and parses information from the server (point z) over the Internet via TCP/IP. Servers may be interconnected to each other to form networks (point y to point x and point z; or point y to point x to point z). Interconnected servers share user data and information behind the scenes.+Internet Relay Chat ([[Wp>IRC]]) is a [[Wp>Protocol (computing)|protocol]] that was invented by Jarkko Okarinen.
