Network Appearance - The Network Appearance is a M3UA local reference

shared by SG and AS (typically an integer) that together with an
Signaling Point Code uniquely identifies an SS7 node by indicating
the specific SS7 network it belongs to. It can be used to distinguish
between signalling traffic associated with different networks being
sent between the SG and the ASP over a common SCTP association. An
example scenario is where an SG appears as an element in multiple
separate national SS7 networks and the same Signaling Point Code
value may be reused in different networks.
