- MAC (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- MIL-STD-1553 [r]: An extensively used interconnection standard among military electronics components, slow in comparison with local area networks but intended for simple command-response control in electrically noisy environments [e]
- Medium access control [r]: The set of protocols and administrative conventions that let multiple computers or communications devices share a common network medium, usually referring to a local area network medium, but also an area of radio communications on a given part of the electromagnetic spectrum [e]
- NIPRNET [r]: The common user network intended to carry U.S. military "sensitive but unclassified" traffic for military personnel, government employees, military contractors, and approved allies [e]

- Virtual private network [r]: A communications system that interconnects one or more customer-defined set of sites with routed, data link, or physical connectivity, mapped through an underlying customer-owned or provider-provisioned backbone. It may provided connectivity alone, or connectivity with guarantees of security and quality of service. [e]
- Wireless local area network [r]: A local area network, with a range in hundreds to thousands of meters, which transfers high-speed digital data without a direct physical connection between nodes on the network, usually by radio; the nodes are assumed to stay in one general area, as opposed to moving widely as in cellular telephony [e]
