Processor failures in distributed computing that are not crash or Byzantine
Copied from the comments on the question as per-request.

I have taken theory of distributed computing with Michel Raynal and he described a third model, where messages can be dropped randomly. In that model a message can fail silently to be delivered, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the node has failed. It is about link failures rather than node failures "fair lossy channel model", you can read more about it here : Quiescent Uniform Reliable Broadcast as an Introductory Survey to Failure Detector Oracles - Michel Raynal (ftp.irisa.fr/techreports/2000/PI-1356.ps.gz)
