CL: interesting question, and one that should be answered from time to time. CL: the public autonomous system numbers are issued by IANA or other public registires in other areas ( RIPE for Europe, APNIC(?) for Asia ) One must apply for them and pay a registration fee. The public AS numbers are meant for BGP, but I am familiar with at least one major corporation who uses their public AS as the identifier for their OSPF internal network as well. CL: for routing protocols like EIGRP, an "AS" number is required, and for neighbor relationships to form, routers must use the same "AS" number. This can be, but does not have to be a public registered AS number. CL: OSPF configuration requires a "process i.d." which some call an "AS" number. These do not have to match on any two routers, and are strictly for CPU operation.
