(XXX add links to preference settings affecting how IRC is dissected). Also add info of additional Wireshark features where appropriate, like special statistics of this protocol. The IRC dissector is not in the latest public build. XXX - Add example traffic here (as plain text or Wireshark screenshot). The well known TCP port for IRC traffic is 6667. TCP: Typically, IRC uses TCP as its transport protocol.The average number of users connected to IRC networks has continuously grown since 1989 at an alarming rate. Now it supports a large number of world-wide network sof servers and clients, and is stringing to cope with growth. The IRC protocol began development in 1989 and was first implemented as a means for users on a BBS to chat amongst themselves. A typical setup involves a single process (the server) forming a central point for clients (or other servers) to connect to, performing the required message delivery/multiplexing and other functions. IRC itself is a teleconferencing system, which (through the use of the client-server model) is well-suited to running on many machines in a distributed fashion.
The IRC protocol has been developed on systems using the TCP/IP network protocol, although there is no requirement that this remain the only sphere in which it operates. (from RFC 1459) The IRC (Internet Relay Chat) protocol has been designed over a number of years for use with text based conferencing.
