#### Network Partition Testnet
Tendermint is expected to recover from network partitions. A partition where no
subset of the nodes is left with the super-majority of the stake is expected to
stop making blocks. Upon alleviation of the partition, the network is expected
to once again become fully connected and capable of producing blocks. The
network partition testnet ensures that Tendermint is able to handle this
reliably at scale. In this test, a network with 100 validators and 95 full
nodes is started. All validators have equal stake. Once the network is
producing blocks, a set of firewall rules is deployed to create a partitioned
network with 50% of the stake on one side and 50% on the other. Once the
network stops producing blocks, the firewall rules are removed and the nodes
are monitored to ensure they reconnect and that the network again begins
producing blocks.
#### Absent Stake Testnet
Tendermint networks often run with _some_ portion of the voting power offline.
