Hi,

as far as I know that has been discussed on the SIGTRAN
list, and they chose the values of 0 (that is : zero) for "unspecified",
and values of 1 to 5 for the adaptation layers that are currently
being defined.
As to how this adds any information that is not yet contained
in the port number, I do not know...
