I see most of companies have IRC hosting as an prohibited activity. One can read like:

"Because IRC usage attracts a disproportional amount of denial of service attacks, the I/O Flood network does not allow usage of IRC clients, servers, bots, or other IRC technology."

so i want to ask why is it so, why it attracts DoS and if most of these IRC attacks can be somehoe software way eliminated?
