RFC 2810: Internet Relay Chat: Architecture
4.1 Client Locator
To be able to exchange messages, two clients must be able to locate each other. Upon connecting to a server, a client registers using a label which is then used by other servers and clients to know where the client is located. Servers are responsible for keeping track of all the labels being used.
