Where 6667 fits
Why 6667 is special
IRC's registered port is 194, but 194 is privileged and 6667 is not, so essentially every network used 6667 instead. It is a clean illustration of a registry recording an intention that practice ignored.

Technology & computing
IRC's assigned port is 194 and almost nothing used it, because 194 requires privileges and 6667 does not. The gap between the two numbers is a clean demonstration of how little a registry binds practice when the registered choice is inconvenient.
