We also spent a fairly significant chink of time on ALOHA, alongside RIPv2. I think they're commonly covered at universities as they're relatively simple protocols, but still demonstrate the concepts that they're taught for quite well. The alternatives would be for the lecturer to invent their own protocol for demonstration/lecturing on, or to use more modern and comprehensive protocols.
