The TOC/TOC2 protocol specifications were made available by AOL, while OSCAR is a closed protocol that third parties have had to reverse-engineer. However, AOL also created a simpler protocol called TOC that lacks many of OSCAR's features but is sometimes used for clients that only require basic chat functionality. Most AOL-produced versions of AIM and popular third party AIM clients use this protocol. The standard protocol that AIM clients use to communicate is called OSCAR. Version 6.5.11.1 supports status messages (similar to away messages), and has improved cell phone integration.
