No netsplits on server unavailability

Traditional IRC networks split whenever a server has brief network connectivity issues to the rest of the IRC network, or whenever a server needs to be upgraded. With RobustIRC, your users will not notice when you roll out a new version or reboot the machine on which a particular RobustIRC server is running.

Robust against connectivity issues between clients and the network

A brief hickup of your internet connection means your session will be terminated in traditional IRC. With RobustIRC, you will transparently be connected to a different server.
