I thought AS was more of a network prefix rather than a single machine (like a server). &nbsp; Do you mean that there a single machine on an AS that does the authentication stuff to any other machine outside the domain and tries to logon to that server's domain?<br />
<br />
Also, thanks for your response.

yeah to a point, if you have a private network, with a DC (domain controler) and other machines in that private network try to log on to that domain, then your DC will authenticate and delegate privileges, but if you have a DC on a private network and i try and authenticate from my machine, that won't be posable(unless there was a VPN between the two networks)

I know that Autonomous System (AS) is an administrative 'domain' that has its own routing policy. &nbsp; I was wondering if this 'domain' has any relation to a 'domain' name, such as .com or .org. &nbsp; I'd just like to clear my confusion. &nbsp; Any explanation would be appreciated.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
