Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of routers under one administrative entity (e.g. a single organization or ISP) that operate with a common routing policy. Each AS has its own unique identification number (AS number) and is responsible for routing traffic within its network. ASes communicate with each other through a standard protocol called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to exchange information about routes between their networks.
