Actually it was called "Aloha Protocol", with
a successor called "Slotted Aloha" developed
at the University of Hawai'i.
Alloah is the Islamic version of this protocol ;-).

Depends what you mean by "practical." Ethernet II is an older standard.

No. Both use CSMA/CD (ignoring specia
Well, take Cisco routers for instance. You configure the interface to use
either 802.3 or Ethernet II (or 802.2 or SNAP). So in this case it is you
that decides which encapsulation to use and the router just follows your
instructions. In other cases a program might be explicitly set up to on
Thanks.
I mean, during encapsulation how IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet will be selected ?
"Who" decides that ?

IEEE 802.3 does indeed define the operation of
CSMA/CD, which I believe is media - independent.
I seem to recall that CSMA/CD was first tried out with
a project called 'Alloah' in the 1970's between
several islands, one being Hawaii, so radio was the
medium here.

They are different standards for ethernet. They both use CSMA/CD. 802.3
was defined by the IEEE and Ethernet was defined by Xerox I believe.
The difference is in the packet format:
Ethernet:
Destination Address (6 octets) - Source Address (6) - Protocol (2) - Data
(Variable) - FCS (4)
802.3
I see a description of the differences between them but I can't really
understand that in practical terms.
Is the IEEE 802.3 the CSMA/CD ?
