In what context are you using the term "autonomous system"? Are we
talking about routing in the internet with BGP? or maybe breaking a
single enterprise network into multiple eigrp AS? The purposes of "AS"
are different in those two contexts. Let's assume you mean BGP.
An autonomous system in BGP refers to a group of BGP speaking routers
with a single unified routing policy. If all of your routers have the
same policy, why would you want another AS number? That would
accomplish nothing except to cause confusion. Perhaps if we knew why
you were asking we could answer better.
Using Howard's absolutely wonderful phrase: What problem are you
trying to solve? In your case, why would you want more than a single
AS? Does it provide any advantage? If so, what are the disadvantages?
Give us some more information and we'll be able to answer more
intelligently.
HTH,

Can someone tell me why a single autonomous system (AS) is better than
having multiple autonomous systems?
