Thomas, EIGRP is an Interior (I)GRP unlike BGP which is an Exterior Routing Protocol. BGP Autonomous systems need the AS number to distinguish one from another. EIGRP on the other hand would normally be running without any knowledge of other systems EIGRP protocol. It will normally not interact with any other EIGRP protocol implementation. However, the AS number does give the option of running more than one instance of EIGRP although the load on the router CPU, memory etc may cripple it.
