DALnet. DALnet is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network made up of 39 servers, with a stable population of approximately 10,000 users in about 4,000 channels. [1] DALnet is accessible by connecting with an IRC client to an active DALnet server on ports 6660 through 6669, and 7000. SSL users can connect on port 6697 [2] as well.
The unofficial, but most often used port for TLS IRCd connections is 6697. More recently, as a security enhancement and usability enhancement, various client and server authors have begun drafting a standard known as the STARTTLS standard [ 22 ] which allows for TLS and plain text connections to co-exist on the same TCP port.
IRC was originally a plain text protocol [13] (although later extended), which on request was assigned port 194/TCP by IANA. [32] However, the de facto standard has always been to run IRC on 6667/TCP [33] and nearby port numbers (for example TCP ports 6660–6669, 7000) [34] to avoid having to run the IRCd software with root privileges.

The Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC) has been the primary method of establishing connections directly between IRC clients for a long time now.
