Well, I think it has caused confusion.

I originally interpreted this as something like a non-transit AS - a  
network, regardless of geographic extent,
which does not provide any access from one outside network to another.

In that case, maybe "end network", with a definition, would be more  
appropriate.

If something else is meant, I think that you need to either spell it  
out or give a reference.
