What is the pure ALOHA method?

The ALOHA method is a protocol, not a system.

A protocol is an explicit specification of actions that should be followed in a communication channel, such as an IP packet transfer protocol between hosts on the Internet or a network-level protocol within a LAN. Because the protocol is explicit, it cannot be changed; it is stable. That means that if you have a source and destination (or client and server) set up to follow the protocol and the clients and servers are compliant, that source and destination can continue to reliably and efficiently exchange information indefinitely. However, if one or both of the client and server are not conforming, or one or both introduce a fault that leads to loss or alteration of the protocol's definition, that client and server will no longer be able to reliably and efficiently exchange information.

The ALOHA protocol is an agreement, an interaction model. The ALOHA agreement consists of the following three steps: Step 1: The system takes a snapshot of the configuration of the communicating elements. Step 2: The system compares the configuration against its understanding of how things should have been configured during the last interaction. Step 3: The system takes appropriate action according to the result of the comparison. In the first phase (taking a snapshot), ALOHA assumes that the configurations at the source and the destination were previously agreed to be in the desired final state. The snapshot is simply a record of that state.

To perform its function properly, the system can't know the answer before interacting because of the possible presence of hidden nodes, errors, or faults, even in systems intended to be entirely error free. In this case, the system must take a snapshot. In many cases, once a snapshot is taken and examined, the system can confidently declare that the destination should be prepared to accept data and should be ready for additional packets. That is the ALOHA method.

When you look at some of the earlier articles in this series, you will find an example where the above described step 3 would occur. After this initial snapshot was taken, ALOHA went ahead and sent packets to the appropriate destination. This type of action does not violate the protocol rules.

What happens when a source wants to send data to a destination that does not meet its agreement with that source?

What is difference between slotted aloha and pure ALOHA?

From Wikipedia Slotted Aloha (SA) is a variant of the traditional slotted ALOHA with collision detection and resolution. Slotted Aloha (SA) is a version of the traditional slotted Aloha. algorithm with collision detection and resolution. It was invented by Robert E. Sproull at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973.
One of the original motivations for introducing SA was to improve. performance when the network was lightly loaded and/or when the channel. was lightly loaded. In such cases the traditional slotted Aloha algorithm might miss many collisions because there was not enough. bandwidth available to deal with collisions. By using the new collision resolution scheme in the SA algorithm, packets would be allowed to. be transmitted even if there were still collisions pending from the. previous transmissions. Wikipedia: Slotted Aloha. It is probably the same as slotted Aloha except that it does collision resolution.

What is the formula for Aloha network?

I would say it is more like Aloha-like than Aloha, since it does not use the Aloha-like "magic" number 15, but uses some other number instead.

However, I am not sure where I heard this.

This page says that Aloha uses 15 as a "magic" number. But also says that In some implementations, the "magic number" of 15 is used. In other implementations, this is not the case. For example, in the Aloha implementation used in OpenBSD, the magic number is 23 (the number of. bits in the transmitted data stream).
