 ===== Design =====
 ==== Networks ====
-IRC is designed to be a federated protocol, meaning that an IRC **network** can be accessible from various different approved servers. This federated model can protect from network downtime, due to the lack of a single point of failure, as well as promote diplomacy among the network administration.

 ==== Channels ====
 Servers are grouped into channels. Channels start with a pound ''#'' symbol and can have various different modes set, represented by a string of flags. They can also have a topic, which is a string that is intended to represent the current topic of conversation, but nowadays is used more like a description for the channel.
