Study Notes
Roman Numerals
- Roman numerals were the standard way to write numbers in Europe until the 14th century.
- Roman numerals originated in ancient Rome.
- They are written using a combination of seven letters: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M.
- Numbers are represented by combining these letters, with each letter having a specific value:
- I = 1
- V = 5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
- Arabic numerals gradually replaced Roman numerals starting in the 10th century.
- Today, Roman numerals are still used for various purposes:
- Clock faces, typically for marking hours.
- Outlines, for organizing documents and presentations.
- Book series, for numbering volumes.
- Royal families, for numbering monarchs.
- Super Bowls, for identifying the game number.
- On Roman numeral clocks, the number 4 is traditionally represented as IV, not IIII.
- IV has a value of 4.
- IX has a value of 9.
Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs)
- The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) and end user organizations.
- An Autonomous System (AS) is a collection of networks under common administrative control.
- ASNs are used in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing to identify these autonomous systems.
- BGP is responsible for routing traffic between different ASes.
- ASNs allow BGP to distinguish between different networks and determine the most efficient path for data transmission.
- An AS is controlled by Network Operators on behalf of a single administrative entity or domain.
