An autonomous system is a group of networks under the same management domain using an interior gateway protocol such as OSPF.

Interior routing protocols are used to communicate within a single autonomous system. Exterior routing protocols are used to communicate between multiple autonomous systems.
Routing is of two types static and dynamic . In dynamic routing there are two protocols interior and exterior. Interior routing is inside an autonomous system and Exterior routing is between an autonomous system.RIP is short for routing information protocol. RIP is an interior protocol that is used inside an autonomous system.
The protocols used to distribute routing information between AS's are known as Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP's).
Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) are globally unique numbers that are used to identify autonomous systems (ASes) and which enable an AS to exchange exterior routing information between neighboring ASes. An AS is a connected group of IP networks that adhere to a single and clearly defined routing policy.
To determine which routing protocol is not a Distance Vector protocol, we need to identify one among the options provided. Common Distance Vector protocols include RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). In contrast, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) are examples of Link-State protocols, which operate differently by maintaining a complete map of the network topology rather than sharing distance information. Thus, if OSPF or IS-IS is one of the options, it would be the correct answer.
We use igrp in a autonomous system and we use eigrp between two autonomous systems.
Distance Vector protocols use the Bellmanâ??Ford algorithm. The ARPANET system relied on Distance Vector protocols as their main routing technique in the early 80s.
Autonomous network means its a private network working independently on the field, ARS will automatically reconfigure the network settings with the previous successful transmission from the routing table .

Classful routing protocols do not carry subnet mask information on their routing updates. This makes them unsuitable for hierarchical addressing that require Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) and discontiguous network. Classless routing protocols do carry subnet mask information on their routing updates.RIP v1 and IGRP are classful routing protocols. RIP v2, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP are classless routing protocol.When running a classful routing protocol on a network, make sure you use the same subnet mask everywhere. Otherwise, routing black holes can occur.Classless routing protocols extend the standard Class A, B, or C IP addressing scheme by using a subnet mask or mask length to indicate how routers must interpret an IP network ID. Classless routing protocols include the subnet mask along with the IP address when advertising routing information. Subnet masks representing the network ID are not restricted to those defined by the address classes, but can contain a variable number of high-order bits. Such subnet mask flexibility enables you to group several networks as a single entry in a routing table, significantly reducing routing overhead. Classless routing protocols includes RIP v2 and OSPF, Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP4) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS).
Interior vs. Exterior Routing ProtocolRouting is the process of moving data from one network to another. Routing is unnecessary unless you have multiple networks on different address ranges different combinations of IP addresses and subnet masks, for example). If you don't, you need to look at bridging or switching. You don't need to run a routing protocol unless you have multiple networks served by more than one router (and even then, manual static routes are easier for small networks). Once you get beyond three routers, it's time to start thinking about dynamic routing protocols. If you are connecting your networks to the Internet, you will also need to think about running more than one kind of routing protocol.INTERIOR GATEWAY PROTOCOLSInterior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) handle routing within an Autonomous System (one routing domain). In plain English, IGP's figure out how to get from place to place between the routers you own. These dynamic routing protocols keep track of paths used to move data from one end system to another inside a network or set ofnetworks that you administrate (all of the networks you manage combined are usually just one Autonomous System). IGP's are how you get all the networks communicating with each other.IGP's fall into two categories:Distance Vector ProtocolsRouting Information Protocol (RIP)Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)Link State ProtocolsOpen Shortest Path First (OSPF)Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)EXTERIOR GATEWAY PROTOCOLSTo get from place to place outside your network(s), i.e. on the Internet, you must use an Exterior Gateway Protocol. Exterior Gateway Protocols handle routing outside an Autonomous System and get you from your network, through your Internet provider'snetwork and onto any other network. BGP is used by companies with more than one Internet provider to allow them to have redundancy and load balancing of their data transported to and from the Internet.Examples of an EGP:Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)Exterior Gateway Protocol (Replaced by BGP)
the answer to this would be an edge router
