The Virtual World Relay Service allows objects in SecondLife and Opensimulator worlds (and other metaverse software options that support LSL scripts) to talk to each other.

Using the service you can assign objects to groups and sub-groups using a domain-style naming system that allows the building of group hierarchies. For example:

• prim.sub-sub-Group.subGroup.masterGroup

You can then send a message from one object to an individual object, or broadcast to a selection of objects, groups of objects, subset of groups of objects, multiple groups of objects or all objects. This gives you the ability to target objects with precision and with a single call to the service.

These objects can exist in different regions or even in different grids. If you have scripted objects in SecondLife and OSGrid or Kitely etc., they can talk to each other. Broadcast messaging means you don't have to send the same message to dozens of objects one at a time. This makes this an extremely powerful tool, and negates the requirement to have administrator/operator access to the simulator console, and bypasses OpenSimulator's powerful but limited IRCBridge

Registering for the service is as simple as dropping a script in an empty prim. You only have to do this once no matter how many grids you operate in. Once registration has been achieved, the script will give you a secret key, which will be used to certify messages are actually originating from you.
