Synchrony Models in Distributed Systems
The three standard timing assumptions: synchronous (known bounds on message delay and processing), asynchronous (no bounds at all), and partially synchronous (bounds exist but hold only after an unknown Global Stabilization Time). Which model you assume determines which consensus guarantees are even achievable.
This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
