  25. * The network appearance is a number assigned by the signaling gateway and the
  26. * ASP that, when used along with the signaling point code, uniquely identifies
  27. * an SS7 node in the SS7 domain.
  28. * </p>
  29. * <p>
  30. * This is used when a signaling gateway is connected to multiple networks, and
  31. * those networks are in different countries, for example. When this occurs, the
  32. * SS7 point codes that are assigned could be duplicated. For example, if the
  33. * node has an appearance in France and also in the United Kingdom, the point
  34. * code advertised in those two networks could be duplicated because national
  35. * point codes are of local significance only.
