set of gateways under a single administrative control and using compatible and consistent routing procedures. Generally speaking, the gateways run by a particular organization. Since a gateway is connected to two (or more) networks it is not usually correct to say that a gateway is in a network. For example, the gateways that connect regional networks to the NSF Backbone network are run by Merit and form an autonomous system. Another example, the gateways that connect campuses to NYSERNET are run by NYSER and form an autonomous system.
