The term message integrity code (MIC) is frequently substituted for the term MAC, especially in communications [1] to distinguish it from the use of the latter as media access control address (MAC address). However, some authors [2] use MIC to refer to a message digest, which aims only to uniquely but opaquely identify a single message.
Many protocols are acknowledgement-based, meaning that they positively acknowledge receipt of messages. The internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is an example of an acknowledgement-based protocol. When computers communicate via TCP, received packets are acknowledged by sending a return packet with an ACK bit set. [3]

In computer networking, a media access control attack or MAC flooding is a technique employed to compromise the security of network switches.The attack works by forcing legitimate MAC table contents out of the switch and forcing a unicast flooding behavior potentially sending sensitive information to portions of the network where it is not normally intended to go.
