- * The network appearance is a number assigned by the signaling gateway and the
- * ASP that, when used along with the signaling point code, uniquely identifies
- * an SS7 node in the SS7 domain.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * This is used when a signaling gateway is connected to multiple networks, and

- * code advertised in those two networks could be duplicated because national
- * point codes are of local significance only.
