A group of routers exchanging routing information via a common routing protocol Abbreviated as AS
A collection of networks controlled by a single administrative authority, and which share a common routing strategy Routers connecting networks within an AS trust each other and exchange routing information using a mutually agreed upon routing protocol Also known as a routing domain or protocol area
An AS is a group of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routers that exchange information, typically under the control of one company An AS can include a large number of networks, all of which share the same AS number
A collection of gateways or routers under one administrative entity using a common interior gateway protocol (IGP) Gateways and routers within an autonomous system have a high degree of trust
A PV system with no back-up generating source It may include storage batteries that can supply power with no sunlight for a number of days called "days of autonomy"
(AS) An IP network, or set of IP networks, with a single (i e autonomous) routing policy
Internet (TCP/IP) terminology for a collection of routers under a single administrative authority using a common Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for routing packets See subnetwork [Source: RFC1392] Return to TOP
An autonomous system is a private group of networks and routers Each autonomous system is administered by a single organization An ISP is one example of an autonomous system
In Internet (TCP/IP) terminology, a series of gateways or routers that fall under a single administrative entity and cooperate using the same Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)
A complex system that can assume almost complete responsibility for a task without human input, verification, or decision making
A stand-alone PV system that has no back-up generating source May or may not include storage batteries Most battery systems are designed for a certain minimum "days of autonomy" - which means that the batteries can supply sufficient power with no sunlight to charge the batteries This varies from 3-5 days in the sunbelt, to 5 to 10 days elsewhere

A stand-alone PV system that has no back-up generating source May or may not include storage batteries
An autonomous system is a set of routers under a single technical administration, using an interior gateway protocol and common metrics to route packets within the autonomous system, and using an exterior gateway protocol to route packets to other autonomous systems Since this classic definition was developed, it has become common for a single autonomous system to use several interior gateway protocols and sometimes several sets of metrics within an autonomous system The use of the term "autonomous system" stresses that even when multiple IGPs and metrics are used, the administration of an autonomous system appears to other autonomous systems to have a single coherent interior routing plan and to present a consistent picture of what networks are reachable through it The autonomous system is represented by a number between 1 and 65534, assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority

An autonomous system is a network or set of networks under one administrative authority such as a company or other organization
A stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system that has no backup generating source and relies only on solar energy to meet the needs of the load May or may not include storage batteries
A collection of routers under a single administrative authority using a common Interior Gateway Protocol for routing packets
