World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Autonomous System Number (ASN)

The video tutorial explains the concept of IP addresses and autonomous systems, highlighting how local networks are part of larger autonomous systems. It discusses the interconnection of these systems, the unique autonomous system numbers (ASNs) assigned to them, and the role of organizations like IANA in this process. The tutorial also covers the properties of ASNs, including their 32-bit structure, and introduces a demo to verify ASNs assigned to different organizations.

What are stub autonomous systems and how do they differ from other types of autonomous systems?

How many different autonomous system numbers could theoretically exist, and what was the reason for extending the length of these numbers?
