What is the boundary point called where the provider's network ends and the customer's network begins?

The boundary point is the demarcation point, or demarc. It marks where the provider’s network ends and the customer’s network begins, defining who is responsible for the wiring and equipment on each side. The other terms refer to different infrastructure: a main distribution frame (MDF) and an intermediate distribution frame (IDF) are wiring hubs inside a building, while a CSU/DSU is a device used to connect a digital line to customer equipment, not the network boundary.
