A network partition refers to the failure of a network device that causes a network to partition. For example, in a network with multiple subnets were nodes A and B are located in one subnet and nodes C and D are in another. If the switch between the subnets fails, then the network is partitioned and nodes A and B can no longer communicate with nodes C and D.[1]
