NUA means Network User Adress which explains, I think, itself. On the german DATEX-P telecom network you need both, a two part NUI (i.e. Network User Identification = your personal password) and the NUA to connect to another host. I don't know anything about the techniques of your telecom networks, but I think it's merely the same. Greetings from germany, where akronyms are at least as popular as over there at your location.
