Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An Autonomous System (AS) is identified by its unique Autonomous System Number (ASN). This number is used by BGP to identify and exchange routing information between different ASes in the Internet. MAC address is used for identifying network interfaces, IP address is used for identifying hosts on a network, and host name is a user-friendly name assigned to a particular host. None of these identify an autonomous system.
