Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an application layer protocol that facilitates real-time text-based communication over the internet. It is primarily used for group discussions (channels) and direct messaging. While it was initially developed for text, modern adaptations support multimedia exchanges, making it useful for real-time video chatting as well.
Important Key Points :
- IRC was developed in 1988 by Jarkko Oikarinen.
- It operates on a client-server model, where users connect to an IRC server via an IRC client.
- While traditional IRC is mainly text-based, modern implementations allow file sharing and multimedia features.
- Other modern platforms for real-time video chatting include Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.
Knowledge Booster :
- Internet Publish Chat (IPC):No such widely recognized protocol exists for real-time communication.
- Internet Broadcast Chat (IBC):Broadcasting refers to one-to-many communication, like live streaming, but not direct real-time video chat.
- Internet Transfer Chat (ITC):This is not a known protocol for real-time video chatting.
