Bug Description

Fo admin users it would be good to distinguish different kind of networks from the Topology page. Network could have any name, so to make sure the network is external user need to go the the Admin page (Network Topology is in Project), pick Networks and click to the network name to see the details, And only from that page user could find out the type of network.

So I suggest to add some kind of mark to distinguish external and internal networks. It could be an image of globe or juat 'ext' letters.

+ different colors of networks bring confusion seens there is no special meaning. Maybe we should get rid of different colors in network topology?

How about adding some hover over text to the icon to let the user know that it's an "External Network"?

Like this addition a lot!
