  Aloha
       
           (From the Hawaiian greeting) A system of
          {contention resolution} devised at The {University of Hawaii}.
          {Packets} are {broadcast} when ready, the sender listens to
          see if they collide and if so re-transmits after a random
          time.  {Slotted Aloha} constrains packets to start at the
          beginning of a time slot.  Basic Aloha is appropriate to long
          propagation time nets (e.g. satellite).  For shorter
          propagation times, {carrier sense} {protocols} are possible.
