Briefly, this parameter should be at least as big as the number of virtual networks you use in your protocol to communicate between different system components. These networks are defined near the top of your component SLICC files. For example, an L2 cache might have the following definition:

MessageBuffer L1RequestToL2Cache, network="From", virtual_network="0", ordered="true"; // a local L1 -> this L2 bank

Which specifies that you have a virtual network (#0) from a Local L1 cache to an L2 cache bank. Your NUMBER_OF_VIRTUAL_NETWORKS parameter should be at least the number of the distinct virtual network numbers you have (you should count the "From" and "To" networks with the same number as one network).
