Abstract
We have seen that the original Aloha protocol is inherently unstable in the absence of some external control. If we look into the philosophy behind the Aloha protocol, we notice that there is no sincere attempt to resolve collisions among packets as soon as they occur. Instead, the attempts to resolve collisions are always deferred to the future, with the hope that things will then work out, somehow, but they never do.
