In computer networking, mainly Internet Relay Chat (IRC), netsplit is the disconnection of a given node (or server) from the network or between two nodes (servers). As an IRC network is an undirected acyclic graph, a split between any two nodes splits the entire network into two parts.
A normally functioning network.
A network on which a netsplit has occurred.
Appearance of netsplits [change]
Below is an example of typical netsplit. When two servers split, a user sees this as large number of users quitting. After the servers are reconnected, a user sees the other users rejoining.
- On GUI IRC clients
* usera has quit (a.irc.net b.irc.net) * userb has quit (a.irc.net b.irc.net) * userc has quit (a.irc.net b.irc.net) * usera has joined #channel * userb has joined #channel * userc has joined #channel
- On command-line client irssi
00:00 -!- Netsplit a.irc.net <-> b.irc.net quits: usera, userb, userc 00:00 -!- Netsplit over, joins: usera, userb, userc
- To a user on a private network
* usera has quit (*.net *.split) * userb has quit (*.net *.split) * userc has quit (*.net *.split) * usera has joined #channel * userb has joined #channel * userc has joined #channel
