*[[GNET]] an early propritoryproprietary [[LAN]] protocol

*[[Apple Computer|Apple's]] [[LocalTalk]] implemented '''CSMA/CA''' on an electrical bus using a three-byte jamming signal.

*[[802.11 RTS/CTS]] implements '''virtual carrier sensing''' using short '''Request to Send''' and '''Clear to Send''' messages for [[WLAN]]s ([[802.11]] mainly relies on '''physical carrier sensing''' though).
