RFC 2810: Internet Relay Chat: Architecture

 

5.3 One-To-All


   The one-to-all type of message is better described as a broadcast
   message, sent to all clients or servers or both.  On a large network
   of users and servers, a single message can result in a lot of traffic
   being sent over the network in an effort to reach all of the desired
   destinations.

   For some class of messages, there is no option but to broadcast it to
   all servers so that the state information held by each server is
   consistent between servers.
