  39 </I>Something you may be interested in from one of the Sorcery.Net IRC Network
  40 mailing lists that was posted last year:
  41
  42 &lt;quote&gt;
  43 Scheme 1 - Command Tokenization (currently implemented by DALnet)
  44
  45 The entire msgtab is represented in server&lt;-&gt;server communication as a
  46 single letter, ie. each command is stripped down to a single byte. See
  47 include/struct.h and include/msg.h for more details, you'll get the
  48 picture. Tokens are translated to commands and vice versa.
  49 Unfortunately, due to the way things work, this isn't done during a
  50 resynch burst, which is where things would be most valuable.
  51
  52 Scheme 2 - Name Tokenization (currently implemented by Undernet)
  53
  54 Every single nick and servername is encoded using base64 (or
  55 something... I'm not too clear on the details). This turns
  56 &quot;cookie.sorcery.net&quot; into &quot;1423&quot; or whatever number cookie has been
  57 assigned. Servers are assigned these numbers on connect, I'm not sure
  58 how the nick side of things works. It's supposed to have cut down Unet's
  59 bandwidth usage by 30%.
  60 &lt;/quote&gt;
  61
  62 The other thing is this TS3 timestamping that Bahamut (DALnet's new ircd)
  63 uses and services is using TSpre or something like that.
  64
  65 Services currently &quot;cores&quot; bahamut servers as the timestamps are quite
  66 different.

  71 &gt;<i>Another thing I would like to know is any ideas how to implement services
  72 </I>&gt;<i>registration/query from a web page, I know some networks support this, what
  73 </I>&gt;<i>do you think with be the best way to do this, via a services BOT getting
  74 </I>&gt;<i>messages from a Java applet connected to the IRC network or by coding a
  75 </I>&gt;<i>socket listener directly on services to manage this. I don't have to many
  76 </I>&gt;<i>experience on this, so please if someone have some ideas or some code about
  77 </I>&gt;<i>his I would appreciate that.
