Me parece bien traducido...

una simple búsqueda en google me ha dicho:

CTCP and DCC Commands
CTCP stands for Client-To-Client-Protocol. The CTCP command performs certain client specific functions on the IRC network. It permits you to find out various kinds of information and perform some useful functions on IRC. Many clients allow you to use CTCP to customize various functions, such as setting up a file server on your system, or providing a means to grant op status to users when you are not there to do it yourself. CTCP commands can also be disabled by the user, so don't be surprised if you get no information back from a user when you initiate certain CTCP requests to them.

DCC is Direct Client-to-Client. This is probably one of the most useful and desirable functions on IRC. With DCC you can send and receive files and chat directly, privately, and securely to someone on IRC. The DCC channel is not subject to lag and is secure because it does not use the IRC chat channels to transmit information. It forms a direct link between two users (hence direct-client-to-client).

CAUTION!! As useful as DCC is, you should be very cautious about receiving files. NEVER accept a file from someone you don't know or trust! Just like the real world, there are virus lurking out there, and there are jerks on IRC just waiting to send system corrupting files to unsuspecting users. At the very least, run a virus scan on a file before you execute it. It will save you lots of headaches in the long run.

También podes referirte a la definición del protocolo IRC, que es el

RFC-1459: Internet Relay Chat Protocol

O bien los mas modernos:

RFC-2810: Internet Relay Chat: Architecture
RFC-2811: Internet Relay Chat: Channel Management
RFC-2812: Internet Relay Chat: Client Protocol
RFC-2813: Internet Relay Chat: Server Protocol

Hasta luego.
