User–network interface

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from User Network Interface)

In telecommunications, a user–network interface (UNI) is a demarcation point between the responsibility of the service provider and the responsibility of the subscriber. This is distinct from a network-to-network interface (NNI) that defines a similar interface between provider networks.
