## AS Numbers
An often overlooked component of IPAM, NetBox also tracks autonomous system (AS) numbers and their assignment to sites. Both 16- and 32-bit AS numbers are supported, and like aggregates each ASN is assigned to an authoritative RIR.
## Service Mapping
NetBox models network applications as discrete service objects associated with devices and/or virtual machines, and optionally with specific IP addresses attached to those parent objects. These can be used to catalog the applications running on your network for reference by other objects or integrated tools.
To model services in NetBox, begin by creating a service template defining the name, protocol, and port number(s) on which the service listens. This template can then be easily instantiated to "attach" new services to a device or virtual machine. It's also possible to create new services by hand, without a template, however this approach can be tedious.
