Explanation:
An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of networks under a single technical administration. Some other definitions refer to a collection of routers or IP prefixes, but in the end they all mean the same entity. The important principle is the technical administration, which means sharing the same routing protocol and routing policy. Legal and administrative ownership of the routers does not matter in terms of autonomous systems. Autonomous systems are identified by AS numbers, 16-bit unsigned quantities ranging from 1 to 65535. Public AS numbers are assigned by Internet registries. For customers that need AS numbers to run BGP in their private networks, a range of private AS numbers (64512 – 65535) has been reserved.
