Aloha

Aloha may refer to any of the following:

1. In Hawaii, aloha is a word used as a greeting and farewell people that means love, affection, peace, compassion, and mercy.

2. As a protocol, Aloha is a satellite and terrestrial radio transmissions protocol. In pure Aloha, a user can communicate at any time, but risks collisions with other users' messages. Slotted Aloha reduces the chance of collisions by dividing the channel into time slots and requiring that the user send only at the beginning of a time slot. Aloha was the basis for Ethernet, a local area network protocol.
