RFC 2810: Internet Relay Chat: Architecture

 

5.2.3 To A List


   The least efficient style of one-to-many conversation is through
   clients talking to a 'list' of targets (client, channel, mask).  How
   this is done is almost self explanatory: the client gives a list of
   destinations to which the message is to be delivered and the server
   breaks it up and dispatches a separate copy of the message to each
   given destination.

   This is not as efficient as using a channel since the destination
   list MAY be broken up and the dispatch sent without checking to make
   sure duplicates aren't sent down each path.
