👉 The IRC fluid, also known as IRC fluid rate or IRC fluid speed, is a dynamic parameter in the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol that adjusts the speed at which messages are transmitted between users based on network conditions. When network congestion increases, the fluid rate decreases to prevent message loss and maintain stable communication, while during periods of low congestion, it increases to optimize throughput. This adaptive mechanism ensures efficient and reliable chat experiences, balancing the trade-off between message delivery reliability and network load.
