In computing, a network interface is a software or hardware interface between two pieces of equipment or protocol layers in a computer network.[1]
A network interface will usually have some form of network address. This may consist of a node identifier and a port number or may be a unique node ID in its own right.
Network interfaces provide standardized functions such as passing messages, connecting and disconnecting, etc.
