- ↑ The software IMule has a 'Messages' feature. You must know the I2P B32 destination of your friend running iMule in order to add him as a friend in iMUle (or he must be downloading a file from you, then you can add it with a right click).
- ↑ The service IRC2P is a IRC network running inside I2P. The software jIRCii is compatible with IRC2P.
- ↑ IRC2P relies on several IRC servers inter-connected.
