irc server response to JOIN comment

Question

I'm new with writing an IRC sever. I get Log from joining the channel in freenode connection . The server response to : /JOIN #h was :[email protected] JOIN #h * :realname

and test was my nickname.

Does anyone know that , what is exactly 151.232.114.48 ?

Answer 1

The left hand side of JOIN would be who is doing the joining, if the nick of that is your nick then that would be your hostname.
