Re: Extensions to the protocol.

[Michal Svoboda <pht@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think it would be a good idea to extend the server to server
protocol and/or behavior to fully support non-homogenous networks.
That would greatly improve network-wide upgrade and development speed.

One idea of mine was to implement an encapsulation command. Upon
receiving this command the server would just look at the recipient
and if it's not him, it would just pass it without touching it.
Perhaps one could use the 300 numeric for that as a starting point ?

Another idea would be to pass unknown commands and numerics to their
recipients automatically; and also pass command parameters as they
were received (i.e. unknown modes, prefixes, etc).
