The basic definition of a netsplit is "when two or more linked servers on a network delink". The most common sign of a netsplit occurring is when a sizable chunk of the members in all channels simultaneously quit all with the same reason. Usually, when the servers get relinked, all those who quit rejoin, unless they quit on that server during the netsplit.
When a netsplit occurs, any communications to people on that server are not possible without joining that specific server. Usually, netsplits do not last long.
