Network to Network Interface, or NNI for short, is an interface which specifies signaling and management functions between two networks. NNI circuit can be used for interconnection of either signalling, IP or ATM networks. Basically NNI is used for interconnection of P (class 4 or higher provider core) routers in signaling or GMPLS networks. NNI can be used for interconnection of two VoIP nodes.

  • Network to Network Interface, or NNI for short, is an interface which specifies signaling and management functions between two networks. NNI circuit can be used for interconnection of either signalling, IP or ATM networks. Basically NNI is used for interconnection of P (class 4 or higher provider core) routers in signaling or GMPLS networks. NNI can be used for interconnection of two VoIP nodes. In GMPLS case that could be Back-to-Back or eBGP or mixed NNI connection scenarios depends on what type of VRF exchange is used for interconnection. In case of Back-to-Back VRF it is necessary to create VLANs and subsequently sub-interfaces (VLAN headers and DLCI headers for Ethernet and Frame Relay network packets) on the each interface used for the NNI circuit. In case of eBGP NNI interconnection P routers are taught how to dynamically exchange VRF records without VLAN creation. In cases of mixed or full-mesh scenarios, other NNI types are possible. Note that there could be different encapsulation types for NNI interconnection, but Ethernet (GigE) and Frame Relay are basically used. Network-Network Interface (in Telecommunication).
  • Ein Network to Network Interface (NNI), auch Network Node Interface, ist eine Schnittstelle zwischen Netzen (Netzknoten). Dabei kann es sich um die Schnittstelle zwischen öffentlichen Netzen handeln (Public NNI), aber auch zwischen öffentlichen und privaten Netzen.
  • 網・網インタフェース（もう・もうインタフェース、NNI;Network Network Interface）とは、広域ネットワーク同士を接続するためのインターフェース仕様のことである。ネットワーク ネットワーク インタフェースともいう。 ATM（非同期転送モード）のフレームリレーによって用いられる方式で、ネットワークの接続点となるスイッチ同士を接続するために使用されている。ネットワーク同士を接続するNNIに対して、ネットワークと個々のユーザーとを接続するためのインターフェースは、ユーザ・網インタフェース(UNI)と呼ばれる。
