Aggregation in Routing Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. Aggregation is the process of combining multiple contiguous network routes into a single route that can be advertised to other routers, thus reducing the amount of routing information that is advertised over the network. This is especially important on the Internet, where the number of networks has grown rapidly. Route aggregation is an important part of CIDR (Classless Inter- Domain Routing).
