-Internet Relay Chat ([[Wp>IRC]]) is a [[Wp>Protocol (computing)|protocol]] that was invented by Jarkko Okarinen. There are two essential parts to the protocol, the [[Wp>Server (computing)|server]] and the [[Wp>Client (computing)|client]]. The client (point a) connects to and parses information from the server (point z) over the Internet via [[Wp>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.
